USTA Tournament Changes for 2021

Dear Subscriber First Name,

The USTA has adopted a simplified nationwide structure for adult tournaments beginning in January 2021. The new structure utilizes seven levels of events, ranging from Level 7 (Local) to Level 1 (National Championships) and a universal system that will distribute ranking points consistently across the country. This nationwide system provides consistent tournament levels and standardized tournament operations for all events—regardless of location.

Players will be able to compete more easily across sections, as the levels will be standardized. An increased number of local events provides even more participation opportunities for players.

Hey, John wasn’t—and still isn’t—exactly chopped liver. The talented lefty ranked No. 1 in New England men’s doubles (with Jim Ratliffe) and No. 2 in men’s singles. And after a 30-year layoff from tournament tennis, Johnny Rocket re-ignited to rank No. 2 in national 65 singles and win two National Category 1 singles titles.
