Explanation of the WTA’s rankings system:

“The WTA rankings are based on a 52–week‚ cumulative system. A player’s ranking is determined by her result at a maximum of 16 tournaments for singles and 11 for doubles. The tournaments that count towards a player’s ranking are those that yield the highest ranking points during the rolling 52–week period. They must include points from the Grand Slams‚ Premier Mandatory tournaments and the WTA Championships. For Top 20 players‚ their best two results at Premier 5 tournaments (Doha‚ Rome‚ Cincinnati‚ Montréal⁄Toronto and Wuhan) will also count.”
