About Setlex
Setlex follows the ATP and WTA week by week: the draws as they play out, the scorelines as they land, and what each result does to a player's ranking. The points pages take the official “best results over a rolling 52-week window” formula apart and lay every counting event on a timeline.
How the breakdown works
A ranking total is the sum of a player's best results over the past 52 weeks — 18 for the WTA and 19 for the ATP.
- Mandatory events (the 4 Grand Slams plus mandatory 1000s) always occupy a counting slot, even at low or zero points.
- The remaining slots are filled by the best other results.
- Anything beyond the cap is shown on the timeline but dimmed — it doesn't count toward the total.

Reading a player page
The headline figure is the player's points total. The composition bar shows how that total splits across tournament tiers (Grand Slams, 1000s, Finals, 500s…). The timeline below lists every event in the window, newest first, with each result's contribution and whether it counts.
About the data
Rankings and points are the tours' own Monday tables, read from tennis-api.com and never recomputed here — the breakdown sorts what the feed published, it does not do the arithmetic again. Match-by-match scorelines come from the same feed. Where the feed publishes nothing, the page shows nothing.
