Hmm, it appears that the WTA has quietly extended the not taking off of points ( so presumably extending the use of 'better of' ) although the WTA site's "rankings explained" makes no mention of this going on past 2020.
The ATP announced some time ago that they were extending 'better of' until March and so have also have not taken off 2020 week 1 points.
I see no negative change in players' ranking points after week 1, and certainly singles players such as Heather appeared due to drop points, and the live ranking sites have been taking these points off ( Heather's Abu Dhabi 2021 points will add after week 2 given it's a sort of week 1/2 tournament ).
IMO a sensible move if that's what's happening and continuing until at least March. But gee, where's the communication?! And are the players any the wiser?
Err ... or there's a mistake in the 11/01 rankings update and they did mean to take 2020 week 1 points off.
