Dev Vipul PATEL

What a rank opens and closes

Junior tournaments in India run in levels, easiest first:

1. 1.Talent Series — the entry level — where most players start
2. 2.Championship Series — the next step up, run state by state
3. 3.Super Series — national-level events, harder to get into
4. 4.National Series — the level below the national championships
5. 5.Nationals — the national championships
6. 6.ITF Junior — international junior events

Under 18 runs no Talent Series events, and Championship Series has no ranking bar — so every level here is open to enter at any rank.

The top bar is Dev Vipul PATEL, broken into where each point came from. The bars under it are the averages for each part of the list. Where a colour is wide at the top of the list but thin or missing on the top bar, that is what the leading players are doing differently.
