What is the difference between the ATP Ranking and the ATP Race?

The official ATP Ranking counts points earned over the last 52 weeks and decides tournament seedings. The ATP Race counts only points earned in the current calendar year and decides who qualifies for the season-ending Finals.

Understanding the world tennis rankings

The ATP Rankings (men) and WTA Rankings (women) are the official merit-based systems used to determine tournament entry and seedings across professional tennis. Points are earned over a rolling 52-week window: the deeper a player goes at bigger events — Grand Slams, Masters 1000 / WTA 1000, 500 and 250 tournaments — the more points they defend or gain each week.

This page also tracks the Race to the Finals, which resets every January and counts only points won in the current season. The top eight players in the Race qualify for the year-end championships. Rankings shown here are refreshed daily; official new lists are released by the tours every Monday. Follow how ranking points are being won right now on our live scores page, or check where they will be won next in the 2026 calendar.
