Seeds and Rankings

World Rankings are taken from the IRTPA. World Race points are taken from the IRTPA World Race and form the qualification pathway to the 2025 Real Tennis World Championship. World Rankings are taken from the IRTPA World Rankings for the top 15 ranked players. Subsequent rankings are taken from the RealTennisOnline rankings. Where a player is ranked by handicap, their handicap is shown in brackets. For doubles pairs, seeding is taken as the numeric sum of the ranking points for each player. Subsequent rankings are taken from the pair's doubles handicaps using the IRTPA doubles handicap calculator. Rankings correct at 5 September 2024.
