WTA Tour records

This is a list of Women's Tennis Association (WTA) records since its inception in June 1973. Some records additionally extend back a few more years in order to include the immediately preceding Virginia Slims Circuit era for completeness. The Virginia Slims Circuit started in September 1970 and was replaced in 1973 by the WTA. These however do not make up the entire Open Era records (1968 – present). For those, see Open Era tennis records – women's singles.

Grand Slam singles (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 player's individual Grand Slam tournament performances past and present.
