List of WTA 1000 records and statistics
Serena Williams has won a record 23 WTA 1000 singles titles. WTA 1000 is a category of tennis tournaments on the WTA Tour organized by the Women's Tennis Association .
The Series was initially called WTA Tier I which began in 1988 and lasted until 2008 . Records before 1990 are excluded from this list.[1] When the WTA Tour was established in 1990 there were initially six Tier I tournaments held annually in the first three years. The list thereafter expanded to eight events in 1993 , nine in 1997 and ten in 2004 , before being scaled back to nine for 2008 .
In 2009 the WTA changed the tournament categories, so that the majority of Tier I and Tier II tournaments were in one category, Premier Tournaments , split into three categories: two of them being Premier Mandatory and Premier 5 , comprising nine events being held with Wuhan, which replaced Tokyo in 2014 , as the only exception.[2]
WTA Premier Mandatory and Premier 5 tournaments merged into a single highest tier and it is implemented since the reorganization of the schedule in 2021 .[3] [4]
In 2024 the WTA expanded to ten WTA 1000 tournaments, up from nine in 2023 , with both Doha and Dubai becoming 1000 events every year instead of alternating.[5] There are ten WTA 1000 tournaments: Doha , Dubai , Indian Wells , Miami , Madrid , Rome , Canada , Cincinnati , Beijing and Wuhan .[6]
These tournaments offer 1000 ranking points for the winner.[5]
Only three tournaments were held in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic : Doha, Rome and Cincinnati.[7] [8]
Guadalajara replaced Wuhan and Beijing in 2022 due to the disappearance of Peng Shuai .[9] [10]
On 1 March 2022, the WTA announced that players from Belarus will not be allowed to compete under the name or flag of Belarus following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine .[11]
