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.

Results in the 52-week window
800 points expire in the next 13 weeks — 390 of them at Wuhan Open.
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.
