What Are the World Pickleball Rankings (WPR)?
The World Pickleball Rankings (WPR) are the Carvana PPA Tour's official professional ranking system, built to identify the best overall players on the planet. Rather than measuring performance in a single event or discipline, WPR combines each professional player's results across all three disciplines into one unified, global ranking.
How the Professional Rankings Work
WPR is built to capture the full picture of a professional player's competitive performance. Each player's ranking combines Carvana PPA Tour points earned across three disciplines — gender doubles (weighted at 50%), mixed doubles (35%), and singles (15%) — over a rolling 52-week window. Rankings are shown separately for men and women. Every PPA event worldwide feeds the same point system, so no matter where a player competes on the PPA Tour, it counts toward the same global ranking.
NoteFor the full details on how points work, review the How Professional Pickleball Works guide at ppatour.com. You can also view the current rankings at worldpickleballrankings.com.
Why WPR Matters for Professional Players
- Built for professional competition: WPR is the official ranking system for professional pickleball players, designed to reflect the full scope of a professional's performance across all three disciplines.
- Built on every PPA event worldwide: No matter where a professional player competes, those results feed the same point system — making WPR a true reflection of global performance, not just a snapshot from a single event or region.
- A clearer, more credible picture: By combining performance across three disciplines with weighted scoring over a rolling 52-week window, WPR tells a fuller, more accurate story of who the best players are.
