2018 WTA Ranking System

The WTA rankings are based on a 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.

The tournaments that count towards a player's ranking are those that yield the highest ranking points during the rolling 52-week period. They must include points from the Grand Slams and Premier Mandatory tournaments; for those players who qualify, ranking points earned at the WTA Finals will count as the 17th bonus tournament. For Top 20 players, their best two results at Premier 5 tournaments (Doha, Rome, Cincinnati, Montreal and Wuhan) will also count.

In order to appear on the WTA rankings, players must earn ranking points in at least three tournaments, or a minimum of 10 singles ranking points or 10 doubles ranking points in one or more tournaments.

* When Chris Evert played her last WTA match at the 1989 US Open, she was world No. 4.

** Ranking reflects only four tournaments as a result of inability to play following April 30, 1993, stabbing in Hamburg, Germany.

*** Monica Seles was co-ranked No. 1 for her first six tournaments when she returned to the Tour on Tuesday, August 15, 1995, in Toronto.

**** Seles’ special ranking status was revised in 1996, where she received a ranking average for the first time since her return to the WTA on May 27, 1996, after her sixth tournament in Madrid, Spain. Following Madrid and until she had played 14 tourna-ments, or, 18 months after her first tournament (the Canadian Open in August 1995), her average was calculated using a divi-sor of the actual number of tournaments she had played. Seles would be co-ranked with the player whose average is immedi-ately below her average. After February 1997, or on completion of her 14th tournament following her 1995 return, (whichever came first) Seles would no longer receive special ranking status.w

SINGLES — PRE-MODERN RECORD Helen Wills Moody did not lose a set in singles from 1927 to 1932. Suzanne Lenglen was defeated only once in singles from 1919 to 1926 and that was in a match against Molla Mallory at the US Championships in 1921, in which she retired while trailing in the second set. Exact numbers of match victories are unavailable due to incomplete records from that era.
