Chiar dacă în ultima săptămână a sezonului se dispută al doilea Turneu Final WTA, “Hengqin Life WTA Elite Trophy Zhuhai”, ordinea primelor 9 locuri la sfârşitul sezonului 2018 este certă (clasamentul WTA dat publicităţii ieri):
| 1 | 0 | Simona Halep | 27 | 6921 | 17 |
| 2 | 0 | Angelique Kerber | 30 | 5875 | 19 |
| 3 | 0 | Caroline Wozniacki | 28 | 5586 | 19 |
| 4 | △3 | Elina Svitolina | 24 | 5350 | 19 |
| 5 | ▽1 | Naomi Osaka | 21 | 5115 | 20 |
| 6 | 0 | Sloane Stephens | 25 | 5023 | 20 |
| 7 | ▽2 | Petra Kvitova | 28 | 4630 | 21 |
| 8 | 0 | Karolina Plíšková | 26 | 4465 | 23 |
| 9 | 0 | Kiki Bertens | 26 | 4335 | 25 |

Locul 10 şi restul top 20 vor fi hotărâte în această săptămână la Zhuhai.
Simona Halep încheie al doilea sezon la rând pe locul 1 şi ocupă prima poziţie pentru a 52-a săptămână (ultimele 36, consecutive). Ea ocupă în acest moment locul 10 în ierarhia – determinată cu ajutorul computerului începând cu 3 noiembrie 1975 – săptămânilor petrecute pe primul loc şi locul 3 dintre jucătoarele active (ierarhia, la sfârşitul ştirii).
*
În clasamentul de dublu, 2 jucătoare – coechipiere – au încheiat sezonul 2018 pe primul loc, pentru a 6-a oară de când se ţine clasamentul computerizat – 4 septembrie 1984 (ierarhia liderilor la dublu, la sfârşitul ştirii): Barbora Krejcikova şi Katerina Siniakova. Ele şi-au luat în primire locul 1 – ex aequo – pe 22 octombrie şi l-au păstrat chiar dacă au pierdut finala de la Turneul Final în faţa fostului lider Timea Babos, care a avut-o alături pe Kristina Mladenovic (clasamentul WTA de dublu dat publicităţii ieri). Avansul pe care îl au cehoaicele faţă de Babos şi Mladenovic (pe locul 3 ex aequo) este de doar 10 puncte.
Aici, partea superioară a clasamentului nu mai potate fi influenţată, căci la “Elite Trophy” nu se acordă puncte în proba de dublu (clasamentul WTA la dublu).
