About this leaderboard

This WTA Return+ leaderboard ranks estimated percentage points won on return above expectation after opponent and era adjustment. Historical values are best-effort because not every source provides point denominators. Active view ranks players currently treated as active using their selected-era record. The Sample column shows how many matches contributed. Related columns compare rating, point, and scoreline-dominance metrics in player-page order.
