The WTA Rankings are the ratings defined by the Women's Tennis Association, introduced in November 1975.[1]
Ranking method
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 with the condition that they must include points from the 4 Grand Slams, the 4 Premier Mandatory tournaments and the WTA Finals. In addition, for Top 20 players, their best two results at Premier 5 tournaments will also count.[2] Up until 2016, the WTA also distributed ranking points, for singles players only, who competed at the Summer Olympics.[3] However, this has since been discontinued.[4]
The points distribution for tournaments in 2017 is shown below. Points earned in 2013 were a little different in some cases and retain their value until they expire after 52 weeks.
