matchpointR: Tidy Access to Women's Tennis Association (WTA) Data

Scrapes and tidies publicly available data from the Women's Tennis Association website (<https://www.wtatennis.com>). Provides helpers to retrieve player biographies, singles and doubles career overviews, match histories, live rankings and aggregate statistics. Dynamic pages are rendered through a headless 'Chrome' session so 'JavaScript'-generated content is fully captured, and all outputs are returned as tidy data frames suitable for downstream analysis or visualisation.
