WTA Tour records

List of Women's Tennis records From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Remove ads

This is a list of Women's Tennis Association (WTA) records since its inception in June 1973. Some records additionally extend back a few more years in order to include the immediately preceding Virginia Slims Circuit era for completeness. The Virginia Slims Circuit started in September 1970 and was replaced in 1973 by the WTA. These however do not make up the entire Open Era records (1968 – present). For those, see Open Era tennis records – Women's singles.

Court and Wade began their careers and were winning tournaments long before the Open Era started in 1968; therefore, the statistics shown above do not reflect their entire careers. For example, Billie Jean King career statistics lists 129 career singles titles for King.
