I Hope In Can Get Into The Qualies Draw Anne!!

Um...Capriati...didn't she withdraw?

And won't Shenay get into qualifying seeing as her ranking is going to jump into the 120s

Um...Capriati...didn't she withdraw?
No...well, not yet.

And won't Shenay get into qualifying seeing as her ranking is going to jump into the 120s
Nope, she's 4th next-in at the time of the cut-off/entry date. She needs 4 players to withdraw ahead of her for her to get into Quallies. The lists aren't auto updated after each ranking spot. The rankings used are as of the deadline of entry.

Venus Williams still in here :rolleyes:

The qualifying withdrawal deadline is Jan 26th. We will therefore have a better view of qualies participants next Tuesday.

Thanks

Oh pff...thats retarded ;)

Lindsay's ranking could jump to #4 if the gets to the semis (or even the quarters?) or Oz. So how would they seed her vs. Venus? And, Venus' ranking is going to be down around 15.

If Lindsay's ranked 4th, Venus will still be seeded ahead of her.

Venus' special rank is 4. If Lindsay gets to #4.... the "true" #4 gets it. Meaning if Lindsay is #4 then she'll be placed ahead of Venus.

HOWEVER, the rankings used for seeding at this event were the rankings before AO. Meaning if Lindsay gets to #4 after the AO, it doesn't matter here.

Then why did Lindsay get seeded #4 ahead of Jelena a the 2002 US Open when Jelena was the 'true' #4? :confused:

USO is not WTA event. They can do what ever they want!!

Where do you get the commitments from, Athenaeum?

I called the WTA Tour Head Office and requested it.

Good Luck to Lindsay!

Ahh...thanks vutt. :)

k-lina better qualify and play daniela in the first round and the winner of dokic vs. panova in the second ;)

Michelle Gerards has also entered ! Saw her in Koksijde last year, she impressed me.

I don't think it's a good idea :lol:

I called the WTA Tour Head Office and requested it.Do they send them for free? And can you get all of them? How do they send them to you? Thanks!

Lindsay was seeded ahead of Dokic at the 2002 US Open because Lindsay's special seeding was, IIRC, based on being between the #3 and #4 players. In other words, if she and the #3 player were in the same event, the #3 player would get the higher seed, while Davenport would get the higher seed than the true #4.

YAN Zi made it into the qualifyings :D .

Last accepted player in qualies is so far Janet Lee :) .

Thanks for the list ;)

Best of luck to:

Dementieva, Petrova, Krasnoroutskaya, Sharapova, Panova, Likhovtseva and Groenefeld :D

Udachi.

Do they send them for free? And can you get all of them? How do they send them to you? Thanks!
Via email in pdf format and it's free. I've posted on here all of the lists are currently available. Most in General Messages.

Woah...where did Kristina Brandi go? ???

Alicia Nicole Evie Samantha :dance:

I'm wondering if Lindsay will play the tournament or not since she's played 3 back to back she might opt out of it - then again I want to know if she's entered the doubles with Corina...

do u agree with me that venus is likely to withdraw

do u agree with me that venus is likely to withdraw
She said she was playing so if she withdraws, it will be late.

do u agree with me that venus is likely to withdraw
Venus said after 3th match lost that she would play in Tokyo.

I don't see why Venus would withdraw.

SPECIAL RANKINGS AND SEEDS GRANTED TO SERENA AND VENUS WILLIAMS




The WTA Tour has granted a special ranking and seeding to third-ranked Serena Williams and 11th-ranked Venus Williams under the Tour’s Special Ranking Rule for injured players.


At the first eight tournaments (excluding Grand Slam events and the WTA Tour Championships) that Serena enters upon her return to the WTA Tour, she will have a special singles ranking of No.1 and a special doubles ranking of No.22; Venus will have a special singles ranking of No.4. In addition, for her first four non-Grand Slam tournaments, Serena will have a special singles seeding of No.2 and Venus will have a special singles seeding of No.3. Depending upon their results, their special seeding may be extended for the remaining four tournaments of their special ranking status.


In tournaments where the No.2-ranked player (currently Kim Clijsters) is in the field with Serena, that player would be seeded ahead of Serena. Likewise, when the No.3-ranked player is in the field with Venus, that player would be seeded ahead of Venus.


The Special Ranking Rule, which has been applied in recent years to injury situations involving Lindsay Davenport, Steffi Graf and Monica Seles, applies to top 300-ranked players sidelined by injury for at least six months, and reflects a player’s ranking at the time they were knocked out of competition. Serena (knee injury) and Venus (abdominal strain) last played at Wimbledon when Serena was ranked No.1 and Venus was No.4.


Under the rule’s provision for a special seeding, a player’s seeding has traditionally been determined by the player’s average ranking during the previous 52 weeks before their injury, as well as other criteria. For the 52 weeks prior to Serena’s injury, she had an average ranking of 1; Venus had an average ranking of 2.3 during the same period.


Quality points will be awarded to players who defeat Serena and Venus based on their special seeding (i.e.: players who defeat Serena, whose special seeding is No.2, will be awarded quality points typically earned by defeating a No.2- ranked player; players who defeat Venus, who has a special seeding of No.3, will earn points typically awarded for defeating a No.3-ranked player) regardless of their actual seeding in a tournament.


Grand Slam tournaments have the option of adopting the Tour’s special seeding for the Williams sisters. Recently, the Australian Open announced it supported the Tour’s special seeding for Venus and would seed her accordingly for next week’s tournament in Melbourne.

Tis Rude

I just thought she would go back home to usa after ao
