The WTA Tour will offer a special ranking for players who wish to freeze eggs or embryos.

The offer is open to any player ranked in the world's top 750 who spends more than 10 weeks out of competition.

The US Open champion Sloane Stephens says the move will reduce the pressure on players to return to the court too quickly.

Stephens says she has twice previously used the off-season to freeze her eggs.
