Frequently asked questions
How does the WTA Race to the Finals work?
The WTA Race to the Finals tracks each player's ranking points earned in the current calendar year only. The top 8 qualify for the WTA Finals in November. Unlike the official WTA rankings (a rolling 52-week window), the Race resets to zero on 1 January.
Who currently leads the WTA Race to the Finals?
Elena Rybakina currently leads the WTA Race to the Finals with 8,099 points. See the full standings above.
When does the WTA Race to the Finals end?
The WTA Race runs through the season's final counting events in November; the top 8 then qualify for the WTA Finals.
What's the difference between the WTA Rankings and the WTA Race?
The WTA Rankings use a rolling 52-week window of points. The WTA Race counts only current-year points and decides WTA Finals qualification — a player can be top 5 in the rankings but outside the top 8 in the Race if their previous season was stronger.
