How do tennis world rankings work?

Tennis world rankings are calculated by the ATP and WTA, who award points based on a player's performance at particular tournaments. 

The further a player progresses in a sanctioned event, the more points they will be awarded. 

Prestigious tournaments like Grand Slams and Masters also provide more points. 

Grand Slams, for example, provide the most points on the ATP tour with 2000 awarded to the winner and 1200 to the runner-up. 

Points picked up from each tournament last for one year. 

When are tennis world rankings updated?

Both the ATP and WTA update their rankings every Monday when major tournaments aren't running. 

So, in general, you can expect weekly updates aside from when Grand Slams are being competed.
