2,123
World No. 21
17 of 18 counting slots filled — a new event adds points outright.
The results below itemize 2,244 — 121 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 17 results carrying the ranking, biggest contribution first. 11 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.
One empty slot
The ranking counts the best 18 results and only 17 exist, so there is nothing to displace — the next event played add their full value, whatever it is.
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
70% of the itemized points come on hard courts — and all 4 results expiring in the next 13 weeks are hard-court ones.
