World No. 17
18 of 18 counting slots filled — a new result must beat 60 (The HSBC Championships).
The results below itemize 2,521 — 227 more than the official total, which cannot happen under a best-18 rule. The official figure is right; the overshoot is ours, from results we price for a bigger draw than the one that was played.

How the count works
The 18 results carrying the ranking, biggest contribution first. 13 slots are mandatory — Grand Slams and WTA 1000s count whatever they scored; the rest are the best remaining results. A result expires 52 weeks after the event ended, so anything played before Sep 2025has already dropped out. Expiring points only cost the total what a replacement result doesn't win back.
What it takes to reach No. 16
174 points — any one of these does it:
- Win a WTA 250 title250
- Reach a WTA 500 final325
- Reach a WTA 1000 semi-final390
Where the points come from — by surface
53% of the itemized points come on hard courts — and all 3 results expiring in the next 13 weeks are hard-court ones.
