FIP Ranking
What is a FIP Ranking in padel?
The official world ranking system for padel players maintained by the International Padel Federation.
Definition
The FIP (International Padel Federation) Ranking is the official global ranking system for professional padel players. Points are earned through results in FIP-sanctioned tournaments, with larger tournaments offering more ranking points. The FIP ranking system operates similarly to tennis rankings with a rolling 52-week window. Players accumulate points from their best tournament results during this period, creating a dynamic ranking that reflects current form and tournament participation. Understanding FIP rankings is essential for tournament eligibility, seeding, and sponsorship opportunities in professional padel.
Common questions
How long do FIP ranking points last?
FIP uses a rolling 52-week window. Points earned in tournaments drop off after one year, so consistency throughout the year matters.
