Time for a change?
So I see we get quick updates even from $10K in random places like Djibouti ar that South African city I had never heard from.
Isn't it time WTA gets serious about its ranking system and start counting $10K and $25K points for the following Monday after they get finished?? No excuses now, internet is fully available around the globe and I always found this rule a bit unprofessional having to wait 8 days for points to be added

The main point is for example is that the final might be washed-out by rain or some other circumstances so they don't have to wait with rankings until some random 10k or 25k comes to an end. I think that's good. 10k and 25k often don't have good conditions and facilities.

So it only may rain in $10K or $25K?

Re: Time for a change?
No, but there are more 10k and 25k than bigger ITFs so there is a bigger probability that play can be washed out.

Sorry, but your reason is not really that convincing

Re: Time for a change?
agreed. there's no reason not to have those points added the same week. plenty of 10ks even have live streaming at this point!

Agree 
Given that the vast majority of events on the ITF Circuit now are 10Ks and 25Ks, its only fair that they put the points up instantly
I don't even get why they never put them up at the same time in the first place |

Unfortunately, only the Antalya-Kaya Belek one have livestream 
I agree, they should add points right way

Re: Time for a change?
Why not add them like regular >25K and if it's rained out just wait one more week like now?  |
