Seeds and Rankings

edit

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 2 October 2024.
