2026 Live Ratings Updated 21 Aug 2026

WTA Tennis Power Rankings

WTA players ranked across six metrics that go beyond official rankings. Each metric captures a different dimension of player strength, from overall skill to surface dominance to recent form.

ELO Rating measures overall player strength. It updates after every match based on the result, opponent strength, tournament importance, match round, and set dominance. A player who beats a higher-rated opponent in a Grand Slam final gains more points than winning a first-round match at a 250. Full methodology →
Glicko-2 extends ELO with two extra numbers: RD (Rating Deviation) shows confidence, lower RD means the rating is more reliable. Volatility tracks consistency, a player with low volatility performs at a steady level.

Surface ratings track each player's strength separately on hard courts, clay, and grass. A player's overall ELO may be high, but their clay rating could be much lower if they rarely win on that surface. These use the same ELO algorithm but only update when a match is played on that specific surface. Full methodology →

Form Index measures who is outperforming expectations right now. For each of a player's last 15 matches, we compare the actual result against the win probability from our surface ELO model. Beating someone you had a 20% chance against earns far more than beating someone you were 95% to beat. Losses work the same way in reverse: losing a match you should have won is heavily penalized, while losing to a genuine threat barely dents your form. Results are weighted by tournament importance (Grand Slam > WTA 1000 > 500 > 250) and round (final > early rounds), with recent matches counting more. Inactive players see their form decay rapidly.

How to read this table

ELO # Shows overall strength rank. A player ranked #4 ELO and #1 Form is a top player on a hot streak. A player ranked #80 ELO and #3 Form is a lower-ranked player punching well above their weight.
Rising Players ranked outside the ELO top 30 who have broken into the Form top 10: names to watch in upcoming draws.

Example

A player with surface ELO 1700 faces an opponent rated 1900: our model gives her roughly a 25% chance. If she wins, the surplus is +0.75 (1.0 − 0.25). At a WTA 1000 semifinal, that's multiplied by the tournament weight (1.8) and round weight (1.3), giving +1.76 form points for that match. Meanwhile, the world #1 beating a qualifier she was 97% to beat earns only +0.05 form points. The win is expected, so the form reward is minimal.
