Statistical information
[edit]These tables present the number of singles (S), doubles (D), and mixed doubles (X) titles won by each player and each nation during the season, within all the tournament categories of the 2024 WTA Tour: the Grand Slam tournaments, the tennis event at the Paris Summer Olympics, the year-end championships (the WTA Finals), the WTA Premier tournaments (WTA 1000 and WTA 500), and the WTA 250. The players/nations are sorted by:
- total number of titles (a doubles title won by two players representing the same nation counts as only one win for the nation);
- cumulated point value of those titles (one Grand Slam tournament win equaling two WTA 1000 wins, one year-end championships win equaling one-and-a-half WTA 1000 win, one WTA 1000 win equaling two WTA 500 wins, one WTA 500 win equaling two WTA 250 wins);
- a singles > doubles > mixed doubles hierarchy;
- alphabetical order (by family names for players).
