Statistical information These tables present the number of singles (S), doubles (D), and mixed doubles (X) titles won by each player and each nation during the season, within all the tournament categories of the 2010 Sony Ericsson WTA Tour: the Grand Slam tournaments, the Year-end championships, the WTA Premier tournaments and the WTA International tournaments. The players/nations are sorted by: total number of titles (a doubles title won by two players representing the same nation counts as only one win for the nation); highest amount of highest category tournaments (for example, having a single Grand Slam gives preference over any kind of combination without a Grand Slam title); a singles > doubles > mixed doubles hierarchy; alphabetical order (by family names for players). To avoid confusion and double counting, these tables should be updated only after an event is completed.
