Notes
- In isolation, Guarachi is pronounced [ɡwaˈɾatʃi].
- 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.
- The WTA International tournaments were reclassified as WTA 250 tournaments in 2021.
- The WTA Premier tournaments were reclassified as WTA 500 tournaments in 2021.
