What the WTA Does
The WTA organizes professional tennis tournaments for women around the world. It manages competition schedules, sets rules for matches, determines rankings based on tournament results, and promotes women's tennis globally. The organization works with players, sponsors, broadcasters, and tournament hosts to grow the sport.
Tournament Structure
The WTA runs different levels of tournaments throughout the year. The four Grand Slam tournaments (Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, and US Open) are the biggest events. Below those are Premier Mandatory and Premier 5 tournaments with the largest prize money and ranking points. The WTA also runs smaller 1000, 500, and 250 level tournaments that give players more chances to compete and earn points.
Rankings and Points
Players earn ranking points by winning matches in WTA tournaments. The more important the tournament, the more points players can earn. A player's WTA ranking is determined by the points from her best 16 tournaments in a calendar year. The player with the most ranking points is ranked number one in the world.
Leadership and Organization
The WTA is led by a Chief Executive Officer and Board of Directors. Players have representation in the organization's decision-making through player representatives and committees. The WTA also works with a Professional Tennis Council that includes player representatives, tournament directors, and other stakeholders to discuss rules and policies.
Global Presence
The WTA Tour includes tournaments in more than 30 countries across North America, Europe, South America, Asia, and Australia. This global schedule allows players from all over the world to compete close to home and gives tennis fans worldwide access to professional women's tennis throughout the year.
