Welcome to the Women's tennis task force, a joint subproject of the Tennis WikiProject and the Women's sport WikiProject. This task force focuses on articles related to women's tennis including:

• biographies of women's tennis players.
• women's tennis tournaments (on the WTA Tour, as well as Billie Jean King Cup and upper-level ITF events)

Our main goals are to:

• improve the Women's Tennis Association and Billie Jean King Cup articles.
• improve vital articles on women's tennis players.
• promote popular articles to good article (GA) status.
• promote our first second featured article (FA).
• promote the lists of Grand Slam singles winners to featured list (FL) status.
• work on goals for the Tennis WikiProject related to women's tennis.

To join, please add your name to the members section.

Notability criteria

Women's tennis players are considered notable if they have played one main draw match (in singles or doubles) on the WTA Tour, played one match in Billie Jean King Cup, or have won an upper-level ITF event ($50,000 or higher). Players can also meet the general notability criteria regardless of their results. For more information, see WP:NTENNIS.

Based on that criteria, most players ranked around 250 and above are probably notable (but not necessarily). Lower-ranked players may also be notable if they have participated in Fed Cup (likely due to being from a country not well-known for tennis). Junior players may also be notable if they have won a junior Grand Slam event or are ranked in the top three in the world.
