As the French Open approaches, the WTA has calculated the players' "Clay Index" ranking based on the performance of players in the clay seasons in the past five seasons. The specific calculation indicators are as follows:

100% converted points in the 2025 clay match in 100% converted points in 2024 clay match in 100% converted points in 2023 clay match in 75% converted points in 2022 clay match in 50% converted points in 2}

2021 clay match in 25% converted points in 2}

2021 clay match in 25% converted points in 2}

2}

From this calculation method, Svatech must be the first ranked first. Svatech has won at least one clay championship in each of the past five seasons, and is also the French Open champion in the past three years. However, she is in average this year and has not won a championship before the French Open.

After Svatech, Sabalenka is now the world's number one. Although she is the queen of hard ground, Sabalenka has always performed well in the clay season. She won the Masters championship many times, which also makes her clay strength obvious to all.

This year's Rome Masters champion and runner-up Paulini and Gove also ranked in the top four. Both players have reached the finals at the French Open, with Goff reaching the quarterfinals at least 11 times in clay, second only to Svatek and Sabalenka.

Zheng Qinwen, who has attracted much attention from fans, is also ranked 13th among the 15-person list. Zheng Qinwen is strong in clay and has achieved the most important breakthrough in her career in clay court. She defeated Svatek and Sabalenka for the first time in clay court. However, although she is an opponent that all players value, her performance is not stable. In addition, the winner of the Paris Olympics last year was unfortunately not counted as points.
