777
World No. 98
18 of 18 counting slots filled — a new result must beat 10 (National Bank Open).
The results below itemize 790 — 13 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.

Results in the 52-week window
365 points expire in the next 13 weeks — 215 of them at China Open.
How the count works
The 18 results carrying the ranking, biggest contribution first. 9 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. 97
6 points — any one of these does it:
- Reach the round of 16 at a WTA 25030
- Reach the round of 32 at a WTA 50030
- Reach the round of 64 at a WTA 100035
Where the points come from — by surface
61% of the itemized points come on hard courts — and all 4 results expiring in the next 13 weeks are hard-court ones.
