WTA Tour records

This is a list of Women's Tennis Association (WTA) records since its inception in 1973. Some tournaments from the predecessor tour, the Virginia Slims Circuit, are also included for completeness. The Virginia Tour Circuit started in September 1970 and was replaced in 1973 by the WTA. For a full list of Open Era records (1968–present) see Tennis records of the Open Era – women's singles.

These tables include only official WTA tour and Virginia Slims Circuit events.

Grand Slam singles career records (1973 – present)

Notes:

• Grand Slam tournaments began long before the WTA was formed. Therefore, some of the players' full Grand Slam statistics are higher than what is listed here, which is only an account of the Grand slam records during the existence of the WTA tour.
• These statistics were compiled from each players individual Grand Slam tournament performances past and present.
