Ranking method edit

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 basis for calculating a player's ranking are those tournaments that yield the highest ranking points during the rolling 52-week period. The period must include:[5]

  • the four Grand Slams
  • the four WTA 1000 Mandatory tournaments
  • the best of two results among the WTA 1000 Non-Mandatory tournaments
  • the best of six results from the Elite Trophy, WTA 1000 tournaments, WTA 500 tournaments, WTA 250 tournaments, WTA 150 tournaments, and ITF 15s+ events
  • the WTA Finals as a bonus tournament if the player attended

All WTA players also have a Universal Tennis Rating, based on head-to-head results.
