WTA year-end finals
WTA year-end finals was born in 1972, established by WTA (Women's Professional Tennis Association), representing the top level of women's tennis. At the beginning of the WTA finals, the elimination system of 16 players was adopted, but from 1977, it was changed to a round robin system of 8 players. After entering the 1990s, it was changed to the knockout system again, and in 2003, this trans-European competition returned to the group round robin system similar to the Masters Cup.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that the WTA year-end finals 1984-1998 adopted the best of five games system, which is extremely rare in the history of women's tennis. It was not until the final of 1999 that he returned to the best of the three sets. It can be seen that the WTA year-end finals, which have experienced numerous rule changes, have witnessed the development of modern women's tennis. Starting from 2008, the WTA year-end finals will stay in Doha, and only the top eight champions of that year are eligible to compete for this grand event.

WTO ranking system:
WTA champion ranking refers to the sum of points obtained by female professional players in all competitions in that year, and the champion ranking is the reference standard for players to be shortlisted for the year-end finals.
WTA World Ranking refers to the sum of points gained by female professional players in the best performance 17 events in the past 52 weeks. (It is worth mentioning that this "17 event" must be included in the grand slam and compulsory first-class events, and the absence will be counted as "0")
WTA adopts a 52-week ranking system, and calculates the 17 matches with the highest scores of singles and 1 1 matches of doubles in the past 52 weeks.
The players' association forbids the addition of new leagues. Players can rest comfortably now and don't have to worry about their computer rankings. Because both ATP and WTA prohibit excellent players from participating in one-night stand competitions, tennis develops healthily. Both events have outstanding players representing the highest level.
WTA aims to safeguard the interests of female professional tennis players and provide protection for the development and interests of female tennis.
