Data coverage: Weekly WTA ranking snapshots are unavailable before 1984. Audited official No. 1 change dates and year-end Top 10 ranks are included, but weekly counts and ranks outside those anchors remain incomplete. Pre-2000 WTA match coverage is also incomplete; recorded win-loss totals, surface splits and head-to-head counts may understate actual results.
