Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Why is the website called "TenELOs"?

"TenELOs" is derived from combining "Tennis" with the Elo rating system, inspired by the chess ratings developed by Professor Arpad Elo. Our website specializes in updating unique ELO ratings for Tennis Players on Hard, Clay, and Grass surfaces, much like the Official ATP Rankings.

What records can be found on TenELOs?

Our database includes official tournament results starting from 1976 and extends back to the beginning of the Open Era in 1968. We are actively working to upload all ELO files since 1968, allowing users to check weekly rankings on all surfaces, Live ELO rankings, and Official ATP Rankings.

How can I compare players on TenELOs?

The H2H page allows for the comparison of two players' ELO performances overall (across all surfaces) and on individual surfaces. You can also compare players' ranks and ratings, even by age, to analyze their careers in depth.

Additionally, The Charts page provides visual representations of players' ELO ratings over time, enabling you to track their performance trends and milestones throughout their careers.

What are the "Last 10 Hot Performances"?

This feature showcases the players with the best ELO performance in their last 10 matches played, highlighting those who are currently in top form.

What does "Top 15's All-Time" feature include?

The Top 15's All-Time feature lists players' peak performances overall and their best ELO on the three main surfaces: Hard, Clay, and Grass. It also includes official peak ATP points standings and an average column to show average peak performance across surfaces, accommodating the variance in the number of matches played on each surface.

How does a player get included in the TenELOs database?

To be included, players must win against a rated opponent in an official ATP tournament. Our ELO system awards points based on match outcomes and set scores, with minimum ELO requirements set for different tournaments. For example, reaching the second round of an ATP (250) tournament usually awards 2450 ELO, while winning such a tournament awards a minimum of 2625 ELO, equivalent to a Chess Grandmaster's norm.

What is the source of your statistical data?

Our site's statistical data originate from the personal data records of Tomasz Kosinski, which detail all the ELO ratings of tennis players with a minimum of 2400 ELO rating. These records date back to 1968, providing a comprehensive historical overview of tennis player performances based on a minimum ELO rating influenced by Chess ELO ratings.

How frequently is the data on Live Tennis ELO Ratings updated?

The data on Live Tennis ELO Ratings is updated weekly, reflecting the newest rankings and performances of players. This ensures our users have access to the most current information to track changes in player rankings and performance metrics over time.

TENNIS RATING GUIDE

ATP Ranking

A player's ranking is determined by their performance in Grand Slams, ATP Tour and Challenger Tournaments, 25K ITF tournaments, and 15K ITF Tournaments. The player's ranking is based on their best 16 results during a calendar year. The points for a tournament will count towards a player's ranking for a total of 52 weeks following the result.

ELO Ranking

The principle behind any Elo system is that each player's rating is an estimate of their strength, and each match (or tournament) allows us to update that estimate. If a player wins, his rating goes up; if he loses, it goes down. Where Elo excels is in determining the amount by which a rating should increase or decrease. There are two main variables that are taken into account: How many matches are already in the system (that is, how much confidence we have in the pre-match rating), and the quality of the opponent.

Player Matches

Starting from 2022 US OPEN, all ELO Ratings will be calculated based on the player's current ELO before the match.
