Notes

  1. ^ a b Formerly known as Fed Cup until 2020.
  2. ^ a b 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 Doha for the 2012–2014 period. 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.
  4. ^ Planned for playing alongside Alizé Cornet but they withdrew at the last minute. As a result, no alternatives were chosen.
