The computer that calculates the ranking is nicknamed 'Medusa'. However, this has since been discontinued. Up until 2016, the WTA also distributed ranking points, for singles players only, who competed at the Summer Olympics. In addition, for Top 20 players, their best two results at Premier 5 tournaments will also count. The basis for calculating a player's ranking are those tournaments that yield the highest ranking points during the rolling 52-week period with the condition that they must include points from the 4 Grand Slams, the 4 Premier Mandatory tournaments and the WTA Finals.

A player's ranking is determined by her results at a maximum of 16 tournaments for singles and 11 for doubles and points are awarded based on how far a player advances in a tournament. The WTA rankings are based on a rolling 52-week, cumulative system.
