Competition record
WTA
Deep profile · 1 linked library matter
The WTA runs the women's professional tennis tour and the rankings that decide entry and seeding. The same 30 September 2026 order that kept the ATP claims also kept the WTA claims about joint events and ranking points, which is a plausible pleading and not a finding.
Overview
The WTA sanctions tournaments that award ranking points, including events held jointly with the men's tour. Points from those weeks decide who gets into the next draw and how they are seeded.
Players' antitrust claims survived dismissal on 30 September 2026, in the same order as the ATP claims. The pleading that remains is about joint events and ranking points.
The court treated the complaint as plausible enough to go forward. That is not a finding that the WTA's rules are unlawful.
Competition footprint
A joint event shares a site and a week with the ATP, and ranking points from it feed the women's list.
Those points are what a player needs in order to enter and be seeded at later tournaments.
Keeping the claims means they continue beside the men's tour claims, without a liability ruling.
Consumer & business angle
Women players earn the points and the prize money, and fans buy tickets to the joint events.
The ATP is the other tour in the same 30 September 2026 order, and it is a separate organization.
What to watch
- Whether the joint-event and ranking-point claims move past the pleading stage.
- How the court handles WTA and ATP rules in one case.
