A structured, team-based tennis league built around results, not ratings.
Premier Tennis League exists to bring clarity, accountability, and real competition back to amateur tennis. Too many leagues are driven by ratings, ambiguity, and low stakes.
PTL replaces that with teams, seasons, standings, and consequences — where performance determines your path, not a number.
Eliminate ratings, algorithms, and subjective placement
Let teams compete, advance, and fall together
Create real stakes through promotion and relegation
Turn amateur tennis into a true league sport
PTL is built around teams, results, and consequences — not ratings or algorithms.
Captains build teams from friends, partners, and mixed experience levels. There are no ratings, caps, or algorithms separating players. Teams rise or fall together.
Premier Tennis League doesn’t pre-sort teams. Match results determine movement. Strong teams move up. Weak teams move down. Teams find their true level naturally over time.
There’s no hiding behind individual numbers. Teams adapt, support each other, and own outcomes together. This reduces ego and builds real team culture.
PTL removes the most toxic part of amateur tennis. No rating anxiety. No strategic underperformance. You compete freely — and let the table decide.
