JTT Nationals

New England sent two teams to represent at Junior Team Tennis Nationals in Orlando beginning Thursday!

The Bloomfield Bobcats (18U Intermediate) and Milford Indoor (14U Intermediate) will compete against 16 other USTA Sections. 

Follow our Instagram page for coverage all weekend long!  

USTA New England will adopt the World Tennis Number (WTN) for flighting and seeding for all junior events from green ball to Level 3 on January 1, 2023.  

The ITF World Tennis Number provides a global standard for players. It is a 40-1 scale, with 40 being a beginner player and 1 being an elite professional. This scale is for all players, regardless of age, gender or ability. Players will have separate ITF World Tennis Numbers for singles and doubles.

WTN vs. USTA Ranking - Match wins make up your USTA ranking. Ranking points are awarded by either points per round or points per win, depending on the tournament level. Match scores make up your WTN rating. Match scores are analyzed at a set level. The algorithm takes into account each individual set as its own result.
