How does the tennis ranking system work to determine the rankings of players?

The tennis ranking system assigns points to players based on their performance in tournaments. Points are awarded based on the round reached and the level of the tournament. The total points accumulated over a rolling 52-week period determine a player's ranking. Players earn more points for defeating higher-ranked opponents and for advancing further in tournaments. Rankings are updated weekly to reflect recent results and determine the current order of players in the world.
