What does a 'frozen ranking' mean?
In a joint statement from the WTA Tour and ATP Tour, and in conjunction with the International Tennis Federation, the professional tennis season has been suspended through July 13, 2020.
In response to the current suspension of the season, the WTA Rankings have been frozen until play resumes.
What does a “Frozen Ranking” mean?
A Frozen Ranking means a player’s ranking as of March 9, 2020 will remain in place until play resumes. Points earned during the 2019 Indian Wells tournament will remain on a player’s ranking, as well as the points earned across all levels in the weeks that followed through March 9, 2020.
In short, a player's Frozen Ranking includes all points earned from 2019 Indian Wells through March 9, 2020.
The WTA Player and Tournament Councils, WTA leadership team, along with the ATP and ITF, continue to work on the process moving forward.
UPDATED: The WTA’s rankings freeze also applies to any time-sensitive rankings records and milestones such as weeks at No.1 or weeks in the Top 10.
