Boca Raton tennis player Daniel Cowan Jr. is ranked 553rd in the junior Boys’ 18 category of the United States Tennis Association in the week ending Oct. 1.

They had 1,187 total points, split between 957 single points and 1,009 double points. USTA rankings are determined by adding 100 percent of singles points and 15 percent of doubles points plus any bonus points earned.

Players earn points per round in tournaments, winning higher points the further into a tournament they advance.

“There is always someone better than you on any given day, even if you are the number one player in the world!” he said.
