Women's tennis players standing most weeks at WTA Ranking Nº 1 between the years 1975 and 2021 (WTA Ranking History)
Incredible players achieving an incredible feat 🙌
Take a look at the history of the WTA Tour number one ranking 👆
The list of WTA number 1 ranked players shows the professional women's tennis players who have been or currently are ranked world No. 1 by the Women's Tennis Association, along with the dates of first reaching and losing that spot. Since the WTA began producing computerised rankings on 3 November 1975, 27 women have reached the highest singles ranking and 43 women the highest doubles ranking. The WTA rankings are a merit-based method for determining the rankings in women's tennis and the WTA releases ranking points weekly based on how players fared during the previous 52 weeks.
Monica Seles was stabbed by a spectator during a WTA tournament match on 30 April 1993, while ranked number one. When she returned to competition in 1995, the WTA decided to reinstate her alongside Graf as number one, with her ranking protected for a year until she had a full season of ranking points accrued.
