Serena Williams has won a record 23 WTA 1000 singles titles. WTA 1000 is a category of tennis tournaments on the WTA Tour organized by the Women's Tennis Association. The Series was initially called WTA Tier I which began in 1988 and lasted until 2008. Records before 1990 are excluded from this list. [1]
High category tournaments equivalent to Tier 1/Premier/WTA 1000 existed before 1990, and the Grand Slam tournaments, Olympic Games and WTA Finals have been held since 1884, 1900 and 1972, respectively. See the all-time records article for records spanning the sport's history. Totals including titles won before 1990 are in brackets.
Only WTA 1000 and their predecessor (Tier 1 in 1990-2008, Premier Mandatory and Premier 5 in 2009-2020) level tournament records are included. Tier 1 tournaments were played on 3 surfaces, one of which (carpet) ceased to be used from around 1995.
There were initially 6 Tier I tournaments held annually from 1990. The list expanded to 8 events in 1993, 9 in 1997 and 10 in 2004, before being scaled back to 9 for 2008. In 2009 the WTA changed the tournament categories, so that the majority of Tier I and Tier II tournaments were in one category, Premier Tournaments, split into three categories.
The old WTA Premier Mandatory and Premier 5 tournaments merged into a single highest tier implemented in the 2021 schedule reorganization. [1] [2] Until 2024, only four of the nine WTA 1000 tournaments were mandatory, when the category expanded to ten mandatory tournaments.
