Tennis skill levels in plain English: five on-court stages from beginner to competitive, with self-tests and rough NTRP, UTR and WTN numbers to match.

The USTA rating scale from 1.5 to 7.0: which levels leagues use, how ratings are issued and appealed, and how to choose a level if you play outside the US.

UTR, NTRP and WTN do not convert exactly. See how the three tennis rating scales compare, a rough guide to where they overlap, and how to use it.

What an NTRP rating is, what each level looks like on court, how self and computer ratings differ, and how to rate yourself without getting it wrong.

How tennis rating systems work: UTR, NTRP and WTN side by side, what each number means for an amateur, and how to estimate your own level honestly.
