In doubles, the top-ranked team is the pair who, over the previous 52 weeks, has gathered the most WTA rankings points. Points are awarded based on how far a team advances in tournaments and the category of those tournaments. The WTA has used a computerized system for determining doubles rankings since 1984.
The current number 1 doubles player is Kateřina Siniaková.
