Results in the 52-week window
2,215 points expire in the next 13 weeks — 1,500 of them at WTA Finals.
How the count works
The 18 results carrying the ranking, biggest contribution first. 14 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. 1
434 points — any one of these does it:
- Reach a WTA 1000 final650
- Reach a Grand Slam semi-final780
Where the points come from — by surface
85% of the itemized points come on hard courts — and all 3 results expiring in the next 13 weeks are hard-court ones.
