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.
During the 2020 and 2021 seasons, a revised ranking system was introduced. Upon suspension of play due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the WTA Rankings became frozen as of March 16, 2020, allowing ranking points to extend beyond the traditional 52-week window so that a player’s world ranking would not be impacted due to the suspension. Since the implementation of the frozen rankings, the WTA Tour’s Players’ Council and Tournament Council underwent an extensive review of the ranking process in order to identify the necessary adjustments upon returning to play. In order to balance fairness and flexibility for all players, the WTA Rankings will generally follow the "Better of 2019 and 2020" point model, in alignment with the ATP Tour.
Traditionally, 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 WTA 1000 tournaments (Indian Wells, Miami, Madrid, Beijing); for those players who qualify, ranking points earned at the WTA Finals will count as the 17th bonus tournament.
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.
