The ten WTA 1000 events are spread across the season and around the world β among them Doha, Dubai, Indian Wells, Miami, Madrid, Rome, Canada, Cincinnati, Beijing and Wuhan. The category was created in the WTA’s 2021 schedule overhaul, which merged the old Premier Mandatory and Premier 5 events and renamed the tour’s tiers to mirror the men’s ATP structure. Since 2024 all ten have been mandatory for the leading players, making them the closest thing on the women’s tour to a compulsory circuit.
Sitting just below the majors in points and prestige, the WTA 1000s are where the world’s best meet most often outside the Slams β the events that shape the rankings and the year-end race to the WTA Finals. In recent seasons the tier has been dominated by Iga ΕwiΔ tek π΅π± and Aryna Sabalenka π§πΎ, the two players who have set the pace at the very top of the women’s game.
