Analyzing 2021 USTA NTRP year-end ratings - An initial look at some high level stats

2021 year-end ratings are out, so now we can begin looking at some stats.

First, by my calculations over 251K players received a year-end rating, which is up slightly from 2019 when 245K did.  This is probably a good thing as any growth is good, but keep in mind 2021 included two years of play (albeit pandemic affected in 2020) so we aren't exactly comparing apples to apples.

Breaking this out by gender, women with year-end ratings rose from 150K in 2019 to 153K in 2021, and the men went from 94K to 98K.

Looking at bump rates, overall 6.5% of players were bumped down while 9.7% were bumped up.  This compares to 2019's 4.9% down and 10.5% up.

Breaking this out by gender, women had bump down/up rates of 6.1% and 10.6% which compares with 2019's 5.3% and 9.2%.  The men had 7.3% down and 7.9% up compared to 2019's 4.0% down and 12.9% up.

Stay tuned for more stats in the coming days.
