Notes

  1. ↑ Due to an oversight some of her tournament records in 1976 were not properly transferred to a computer, which meant that Goolagong did not receive the No. 1 ranking at the time. The mistake was acknowledged by the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) in December 2007 and after correcting the records she retroactively received the No. 1 ranking.[1][2]
