Notes
  1. Formerly known as Fed Cup until 2020.
  2. Edition is split into the two years due to COVID-19.
  3. The first Premier 5 event of the year has switched back and forth between the Dubai Tennis Championships and the Qatar Ladies Open since 2009. Dubai was classified as a Premier 5 event from 2009 to 2011 before being succeeded by Qatar for the 2012–2014 period. In 2015, Dubai regained its Premier 5 status while Qatar was demoted to Premier status. The two tournaments have since alternated status every year.
  4. During the season, she did not play in the main-draw of any WTA Tour-level tournaments. However, she played at the Billie Jean King Cup, which is not counted as a played tournament but matches count.
  5. 2013: WTA ranking - 1008.
  6. The $10,000 tournaments were reclassified as $15,000 in 2017. However, there were some $15,000 even before 2017.
  7. Tournament was moved from Canberra to Bendigo due to the smoke affecting Canberra from the 2019–20 Australian bushfire season.
