As a Grand Slam tournament, the points for Wimbledon are the highest of all ATP and WTA tournaments.{{cite web |last=Chase |first=Chris |title=Why tennis rankings change so frequently but still get it right |url=https://ftw.usatoday.com/2018/08/atp-wta-tennis-rankings-how-do-they-work-faq-federer-serena-nadal |website=For The Win |access-date=September 15, 2020 |date=August 6, 2018}} These points determine the world ATP and WTA rankings for men's and women's competition, respectively. Because of the smaller draws and the pandemic, all men's and women's doubles players that made it past the first round received half the points of their singles counterparts, a change from previous years where singles and doubles players received the same number of points in all but the first two rounds. In both singles and doubles, women received slightly higher point totals compared to their male counterparts at each round of the tournament, except for the first and last.{{cite web |title=US Open 2020 Prize Money & Points breakdown with $39.000.000 on offer |url=https://tennisuptodate.com/wta/us-open-2020-prize-money-points-distribution |website=Tennis Up-to-Date |access-date=3 April 2021 | date = 13 September 2020}} Points and rankings for the wheelchair events fall under the jurisdiction of the ITF Wheelchair Tennis Tour, which also places Grand Slams as the highest classification.{{cite web |title=UNIQLO Wheelchair Tennis Tour Rankings |url=https://www.itftennis.com/en/rankings/uniqlo-wheelchair-tennis-tour-rankings/ |website=ITF Tennis |access-date=September 15, 2020}}

The ATP and WTA rankings were both altered in 2020, owing to the COVID-19 pandemic.{{cite web |title=WTA Announces Ranking System Adjustments |url=https://www.wtatennis.com/news/2077588/wta-announces-ranking-system-adjustments |website=Women's Tennis Association |access-date=March 28, 2021 |date=25 March 2021 |language=en}} Both rankings were frozen on 16 March 2020 upon the suspension of both tours, and as a result the traditional 52-week ranking system was extended to cover the period from March 2019 to March 2021 with a player's best 18 results in that time period factoring into their point totals.

• For the ATP, in March 2021, the ATP extended the "best of" logic to their rankings through to the week of 9 August 2021. Players will count either their 2021 points or 50% of their 2019 points, whichever is greater.{{cite web|url=https://www.atptour.com/en/news/fedex-atp-rankings-adjustments-faq|title= FedEx ATP Rankings COVID-19 Adjustments FAQ|website=ATP|date=3 March 2021|access-date=30 May 2021}}
• For the WTA, their 2019 points will drop off at 2021 edition.{{cite web|url=https://www.wtatennis.com/news/2077588/wta-announces-ranking-system-adjustments|title= The WTA has announced adjustments to the WTA ranking system|website=WTA|date=25 March 2021|access-date=30 May 2021}}
