How the points have moved
Ranking points are a rolling 52-week total: every point was earned at a tournament in the last year and expires on the anniversary of that tournament, whether or not the player enters it again. That is why a player can lose points in a week without losing a match. A dash means we have no published ranking that far back for Zhang Shuai.
Ranking points this year
Highest this year: 1,055 points (#54) on Sep 14. Lowest: 1,055 points (#54) on Sep 14. Based on 3 weekly rankings.
