WTA Rankings

The WTA Rankings are a system used to determine and compare the performance of female professional tennis players. Players earn ranking points based on their results in official tournaments, with more points awarded for progressing further, especially in higher-level events like Grand Slams. These points are accumulated over a rolling 52-week period, and a player's ranking reflects their consistency and success over that time. The higher the ranking, the better a player's standing in the professional circuit, which influences seeding in tournaments, entry into events, and overall prestige.
