2,123

World No. 21

18 of 18 counting slots filled — a new result must beat 0 (WTA Finals).

The results below itemize 2,374 251 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. 12 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. 20

42 points — any one of these does it:

  • Reach a WTA 250 quarter-final54
  • Reach the round of 16 at a WTA 50060
  • Reach the round of 32 at a WTA 100065

Where the points come from — by surface

72% of the itemized points come on hard courts — and all 4 results expiring in the next 13 weeks are hard-court ones.

Everything above is computed from what this page already loads: each event's points, level, surface and end date — expiry is just the end date plus 52 weeks — together with the published points table and the ranking list for the neighbours. Nothing is predicted and no probability is invented; the only assumption, stated on screen, is that rivals stand still.

Real results from tennis-api.com for the 52-week window ending 2026-08-31, the standings publication this snapshot reflects. Rank and total points are the player's official WTA standing; each event's round and ranking points come from the real draw result. Editions outside the data window are absent, so the breakdown's reconciliation line absorbs any gap to the published total.
