The ranking system in tennis was removed in August 2019 after being used for decades. The ranking system was based on a points system where players were rewarded for their performance in tournaments. However, the system was criticized for being too complicated, and players felt it was unfair. The ATP and WTA replaced the Ranking system with a simplified system that assigns players a single number based on their performance in tournaments. This new system is simpler and fairer, giving players a clearer understanding of their standing in the game.
