It has been much anticipated, and has finally happened, the USTA has published year-end ratings for 2021! As I write this, there are at least some players with 2021 year-end ratings on TennisLink.
When the USTA did not publish ratings for 2020 year-end, it created a backlog of players that were probably at the wrong level, and after waiting an extra year we now get to see how the ratings have played out and how players have been bumped up or down.
To check what your rating is, you can go to TennisLink and look yourself up, or login and it should show your rating. Make sure to check the date and that it is 12/31/2021 as that is what all new ratings should show. If it still says a different date, yours may not be updated yet, or you didn't play enough matches to get a new rating.
Stay tuned for analysis of the ratings, but if anyone has any questions or wants to get a report to understand why they were/weren't bumped up or down, contact me! And I'm always interested in situations where players successfully appeal, so if you do that and it is granted, drop me a note.
I'll be doing my usual analysis in the next few days, looking at general bump rates, then drilling in by gender and level and section (those links to 2019's analysis) to see what we can tell about how the USTA handled things this time around. So stay tuned!
