You cannot be a World Champion in tennis. There is no such competition so how could she beat anyone? She could be number one in the ranKings.

Charlotte Wright

no such thing as a "world champion." There are rankings, however, but Keber was not ranked number one in 2018.

Is there any such thing as Worlds' as opposed to World's??? Just asking!

I think there is a year end tournament for women, just as there is for men. Top 8 compete in a round robin style. I only know for sure about the ATP Finals. 2019 saw Stephanos Tsitsipas take the title.
