Tennis ratings statistics

The leaders of KickServe's Elo model, overall and by surface. Each tour and surface is anchored so its leader sits at 2,350, which is why the gap to second is the informative number. These are model ratings, not the official ATP or WTA points tables; the scale and the inclusion rule are explained on the Elo explainer.

Method and citation

KickServe computes these numbers from its own match database: ATP matches from 1990, WTA from 1997, official ranking snapshots from 2003 and the Elo replay from 2011. Serve and return figures cover only the matches with point-by-point data, so they are rates, not totals, and every rate leaderboard states its minimum sample. The full career tables are on tennis records; the ratings files are free to download on the data page.
