WTA Tour 2020 interactive

By Ben Mullins

January 6, 2020 - November 22, 2020 - The new WTA Tour begins. With 2019 again producing four different Grand Slam champions, the season -- featuring 55 WTA events in 28 countries, plus the Grand Slams and the Tokyo Olympics -- promises to be highly competitive.

Only the top eight players who collect the most ranking points over the calendar year will compete in the season-ending Shiseido WTA Finals, to be played in Shenzhen for the second time.

Points that contribute to the Race to Shenzhen ranking are accumulated in the Grand Slams, and WTA Tour (Premier Mandatory, Premier 5, Premier, and International series events).

Ranking points are awarded for each event -- ranging from 2,000 for the winner of a Grand Slam tournament to 280 for the winner of a International series event.

Key dates:
Jan 20 Australian Open
May 17 Roland Garros
Jun 29 Wimbledon
Jul 25 Olympic Games
Aug 31 U.S. Open
Nov 2 Shiseido WTA Finals
