San Antonio Standard

San Antonio tennis player Ethan Valdez is ranked 140th in the junior Boys’ 12 category of the United States Tennis Association in the week ending Oct. 1.

They had 2,577 total points, split between 1,613 single points and 3,273 double points. USTA rankings are determined by adding 100 percent of singles points and 15 percent of doubles points plus any bonus points earned.

They were ranked 140th the week before.

Players earn points per round in tournaments, winning higher points the further into a tournament they advance.

Jarett Cascino of New York Tennis Magazine says tennis is one of the most competitive youth sports.

“There is always someone better than you on any given day, even if you are the number one player in the world!” he said.
