Sabalenka also won two WTA 1000 events – the Miami Open and the Madrid Open – and the WTA 500 Adelaide International while she was a runner-up at Indian Wells and Stuttgart.

2. Iga Swiatek – 8,303 points
W-L record: 61-15
Titles: 3
Ranking: 2
Prize money for year to date: $9,417,532
Swiatek was written off by many as she had a poor clay-court season when compared to her usual high standards, failing not only to win any titles on her favourite surface, but also failed to reach a final.
But then it all clicked at Wimbledon as she won her maiden title at SW19 and took her Grand Slam tally to six before winning the WTA 1000 Cincinnati Open and WTA 500 Korea Open.
The Pole is set to finish as the year-end No 2 for the second consecutive year.
3. Coco Gauff – 6,573 points
W-L record: 47-14
Titles: 2
Ranking: 3
Prize money for year to date: $7,274,845
The defending WTA Finals champion has endured a mixed season at Grand Slams as she reached the quarter-final at the Australian Open and beat Sabalenka in the final of the French Open, but then lost early at Wimbledon and the US Open.
Gauff, who also won the WTA 1000 Wuhan Open, remains the third-best player on the WTA Tour behind Sabalenka and Swiatek, but she is being challenged for the American No 1 ranking by Anisimova.
4. Amanda Anisimova – 5,897 points
W-L record: 45-16
Titles: 2
Ranking: 4
Prize money for year to date: $6,210,577
Following a couple of difficult years on and off the court, Anisimova bounced back spectacularly in 2025 as she won her maiden WTA 1000 title at the Qatar Open and followed it up with runs to the Wimbledon US Open finals, but lost against Swiatek and Sabalenka, respectively.
But the American proved her form was no fluke as she won a second WTA 1000 title at the China Open.
Anisimova – who will make her debut at the WTA Finals – broke into the top 10 of the WTA Rankings for the first time after her Wimbledon performances and has surged to a career-high No 4.
5. Jessica Pegula – 5,183 points
W-L record: 50-19
Titles: 3
Ranking: 5
Prize money for year to date: $4,212,311
One of the most consistent performers on the WTA Tour in recent years, Pegula will make a fourth consecutive appearance in the main draw of the season-ending tournament.
After reaching her maiden Grand Slam final at the US Open last year, Pegula’s best run at the majors again came at Flushing Meadows as she made it to the semi-final.
The American’s three titles were at the ATX Open, Charleston Open and Bad Homburg Open, while she finished runner-up at the WTA 1000 Miami Open and Wuhan Open.
6. Madison Keys – 4,395 points
W-L record: 37-17
Titles: 2
Ranking: 8
Prize money for year to date: $4,077,787
Keys started the 2025 season in spectacular fashion as she won the Adelaide International and followed it up with a maiden Grand Slam trophy at the Australian Open to surge to a career-high No 5 in the rankings.
The American also reached the quarter-final of the French Open, but she struggled to maintain her good form during the remainder of the season, losing in the first round of the US Open, which is her last tournament so far this year.
Keys qualified for the WTA Finals for the first time in 2016, but exited after the round-robin phase.
7. Jasmine Paolini – 4,325 points
W-L record: 43-18
Titles: 1
Ranking: 6
Prize money for year to date: $4,806,997
Paolini was the breakout star in 2024 as she finished runner-up at the French Open and Wimbledon and, although she struggled at the Grand Slams this year, it has still been a good year.
The Italian’s best performance at the majors was a fourth-round appearance at Roland Garros.
But her best performance came at her home event at the Italian Open as she won the WTA 1000 tournament for the first time while she also finished runner-up at the Cincinnati Open.
