The USTA has officially announced that it will go to a combined ranking for juniors, effective January 1, 2008. The new ranking will include results from singles and doubles -- the best of eight for each. The doubles will count as 15% of the ranking. There will be an unofficial standing list in June 2007 for players to see where they would stand in the combined ranking.
