British Players in the WTA Rankings
Emma Raducanu has climbed to WTA No. 27 and is currently the highest-ranked British woman in the top 30, having gained two places on the back of her clay-court form. Katie Boulter is ranked just outside the top 30. Sonay Kartal remains inside the top 100, and Harriet Dart and Jodie Burrage are core Billie Jean King Cup team members rebuilding their rankings after strong ITF results in late 2025 and early 2026.
How WTA Rankings Work
WTA singles rankings are calculated on a rolling 52-week points basis, with each player’s best 16 results counting toward their total. Grand Slam winners earn 2,000 ranking points, WTA 1000 winners earn 1,000, WTA 500 winners earn 500 and WTA 250 winners earn 250. Points drop off exactly 52 weeks after they were earned.
WTA Race to Riyadh 2026
The WTA Race to Riyadh tracks ranking points earned from 1 January of the current year only. The top eight singles players qualify for the year-end WTA Finals in Riyadh. The Race resets each January, making it a pure measure of in-season form.
