In the past (2012–2015) sometimes called the WTA Challenger series[1][2] (analogous to the men's ATP Challenger Series) it is the second highest level of women's competition, right below the top-tier WTA Tour, and just above the ITF Women's Circuit tournaments. Players who succeed in the WTA 125s earn sufficient ranking points to become eligible for the main draw or qualifying draw entry of WTA Tour tournaments. Titles and losses at a WTA 125 event are separately counted from a player's WTA Tour results and corresponding head-to-head statistics.
