World No. 15
15 of 18 counting slots filled — a new event adds points outright.
The results below itemize 2,638 — 107 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
433 points expire in the next 13 weeks — 250 of them at Hong Kong Tennis Open.
How the count works
The 15 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.
3 empty slots
The ranking counts the best 18 results and only 15 exist, so there is nothing to displace — the next 3 events played add their full value, whatever it is.
What it takes to reach No. 14
140 points — any one of these does it:
- Reach a WTA 250 final163
- Reach a WTA 500 semi-final195
- Reach a WTA 1000 quarter-final215
Where the points come from — by surface
79% of the itemized points come on hard courts — and all 5 results expiring in the next 13 weeks are hard-court ones.
