This will be the fourth successive Olympics at which players will earn ranking points. The concept of giving ranking points was introduced with effect from Sydney Olympics 2000 because in ATLANTA Olympics, 1996, many top players refused to play because of a hectic schedule & no ranking points being given.





So, the International Tennis Federation has made agreements with the ATP and WTA to ensure that players competing in the Olympic Tennis Event gain points towards their individual singles ranking.




ATP ranking points (singles)





750 Gold medal



450 Silver medal



340 Bronze medal


270 Fourth place


135 Quarterfinals


70 Third round


35 Second round


5 First round



WTA ranking points (singles)


685 Gold medal


470 Silver medal


340 Bronze medal


260 Fourth place


175 Quarterfinals


95 Third round


55 Second round


1 First round




Also, most importantly, there will be no deductions of any points what so ever, so, every one participating will have a net gain.
