ITF WTT Update- June

The ITF’s World Tennis Tour, or Transition Tour, has recently announced it will be shifting its system once again, back to where one singles ranking from the ATP will be in use for both ITF and ATP events. A summary of the changes from the ITF is down below.

M25 and M15 events will now award ATP ranking points from the round of 16 in singles, and the quarterfinals of doubles.
Qualifying draws will increase from 32 to 48 players.
Points will be retroactively attached to players rankings in August of 2019, for the past calendar year.
Junior exceptions will be for up to 3 players in the top 100 of the ITF Junior Rankings at M15 events. No exceptions for any M25 events.
The ITF, ATP, and national tennis associations are exploring a possible lower level of tournament to allow for easier transitions to the pro tour, such as a possible satellite circuit.

This is a positive step for many players to have more opportunities on the tour, at both the ITF and ATP levels. As for our coverage of the ITF Tour, ITF scores will still be reported on this section of the site, but no rankings will be reported, as the ATP ranking is once again becoming the most important ranking in the world.

Check back next week for ITF scores as we approach Wimbledon!
