In 2015, Dubai regained its Premier 5 status while Doha was demoted to Premier status. The Premier 5 tournaments were reclassified as WTA 1000 tournaments in 2021.
^ In 2009, the German Open was replaced by the Madrid Open. The Premier Mandatory tournaments were reclassified as WTA 1000 tournaments in 2021.
^ Includes Premier and International tournaments. The WTA Tier II tournaments were reclassified as WTA Premier tournaments in 2009, while the Tier III, Tier III and WTA Tier V tournaments were reclassified as WTA International tournaments the same year.
