WPT Ranking
What is a WPT Ranking in padel?
The World Padel Tour ranking system that tracks player performance across WPT-sanctioned tournaments.
Definition
The WPT (World Padel Tour) Ranking is an alternative ranking system primarily used for World Padel Tour tournament qualification and seeding. The WPT organizes major padel tournaments around the world and maintains its own ranking based on WPT event results. Unlike the FIP ranking, which is more global and representative of overall padel strength, the WPT ranking emphasizes performance in WPT-specific tournaments. Many top players track both rankings, as they determine eligibility for different tournament circuits. The WPT ranking system has become increasingly important as the WPT expands its tournament offerings.
Common questions
Is the WPT ranking more important than FIP?
They serve different purposes. FIP is the official global ranking; WPT is for World Padel Tour event qualification. Top players often track both.
