The WTA Tour is the modern top-level women's professional tennis circuit. All records listed have been counted since the Women's Tennis Association's inception in June 1973 unless specified; some records may extend further for the sake of completeness as the WTA Tour replaced the pre-existing Virginia Slims Circuit. The names of active players appear in boldface unless specified. No boldface is used in lists exclusively for active players. These lists do not include events from the WTA Challenger Tour.
