ATP Rankings are based on the points earned by the players in official ATP-certified men's singles or doubles events over the preceding 52-week time frame. However, this doesn't mean that someone playing more tournaments will be at an advantage.
Lower segment tournaments can be ATP 250 events. You must sign up for ATP tournaments, most likely a Futures and will likely play qualifying. In order to get ONE ATP point, you must win all qualifying matches as well as ONE main draw match.
Each player receives two challenges per set to review line calls. If the player is correct with a challenge, then the player retains the same number of challenges. If the player is incorrect with a challenge, then one of the challenges is lost.
A person with a 5.0 tennis rating has learned good shot anticipation and can consistently hit different strokes with depth and control. At this level the person can also hit winners and force errors by the opponent.
Level 3.0. You are fairly consistent when hitting medium-paced shots, but are not comfortable with all strokes and lack execution when trying for directional control, depth, or power.
Association of Tennis Professionals
Players receive 10 points for simply being in the field. The eight Masters 1000 events use the same totals, just cut in half. The ATP 500 cuts that number in half, while the ATP 250 does the same. (The numbers in each tournament category represent how many points the winner receives.)
This year the champions of the Men's and Women's Singles will each pocket $2,342,380, whilst the runners-up will earn $1,242,606.

1973: Billie Jean King founds the Women's Tennis Association, uniting all of women's professional tennis in one tour. The WTA was born out of a meeting of more than 60 players held in a room at the Gloucester Hotel in London the week before Wimbledon.
Currently, there are 1,814 pro tennis players ranked on the ATP Tour and 1,106 pro players ranked on the WTA Tour.
The WTA rankings are based on a rolling 52-week, cumulative system. A player's ranking is determined by her results at a maximum of 16 tournaments for singles and 11 for doubles and points are awarded based on how far a player advances in a tournament. The points distribution for tournaments in 2021 is shown below.
The rankings are updated every Monday, and points are dropped 52 weeks after being awarded (with the exception of the ATP Finals, from which points are dropped on the Monday following the last ATP Tour event of the following year).
Only five players in history have won all four Grand Slams in the same year, and the last to do it was Steffi Graf in 1988. The only men to achieve the feat are Don Budge (in 1938) and Rod Laver (in 1962 and 1969).

Between the ages of 15 and 17 you will also start playing some entry level pro tournaments and during the next few years if you prosper, you will progressively play more pro tournaments and less junior tournament. Ideally in your last year in juniors the scale will tip towards pro events, especially for girls.
Technically, the only things you need to become a tennis player are a racket, a tennis ball, and a court. However, in order to become a professional player, you must learn the game, practice relentlessly, and earn ranking points by winning tournament matches.
There really is no age cutoff for playing tennis. You can begin as a kid or you can begin later in life, and you'll enjoy it just as much. Besides, the health benefits of playing tennis are unmatched.
