Question is simple: how ling will it take venus to re-enter the top10?
ATM, she's #17, and this year she only has to defend 25 points for playing luxembourg last year, that's it
A. before the US Open
B. after the US Open
C. before the masters
D. she will not reach top10 this year
Well considering that she is only 318 pts away from No.10, and that she has almost no points to defend thus the only direction to go is up, probably A
But that depends on her schedule too.
I don't know how long Venus will re-enter top 10, but I think WTA should follow ATP's example: Anyone who wins a slam is automatically qualified for the year-end championship. I think Venus deserves a spot. The ranking for other regular tournaments is another issue.
Well many people including I thought that Serena would be in the top 5 immediately after Wimbledon.
That hasn't come to be.
Looking at the players ahead of her and their records, I would have to say that she would likely be in the top 10 after Moscow or Linz.
Chakvetadze will lose a good portion of poiints at that time, so will Petrova, Bartoli, Hantuchova, Vaidisova.
She'd probably need a semifinal in San Diego then a final or victory in Toronto to get to the top 10 before the US Open. Keep in mind, others are playing too, and I'm sure others will do very well at around her spot or in front.
If she makes it to the top 10 on two lead up events, I will be VERY surprised. She should do it after she wins the USO though.
Yep...it depends on her summer schedule as to whether or not she'll be able to make it before the U.S. Open. I hope that she plays and wins enough to get there quickly.
