well, marion deserves it.

i don't think tati even has a slam fourth round on her ranking. marion has three, including a final.

i hope she can play some of her best tennis after the us open and maybe qualify for the championships.

yeah the YEC is really her ultimate goal this year, it would be great that the tradition of having a French there continues thanks to Marion!

well done again

it's so good to see her in single digits for the first time

Well done Marion! It's great to see you playing so well.

Marion is now 14. Her schedule includes Tokyo, Stuttgart and Moscow and probably Zurich and Linz.

Concerning fft ranking which will be published beginning of october, I guess Marion will remain n°1. Gap between Marion and Alizé is currently about 250 pts. Marion has 125-60 = 65 pts and Alizé 55 pts to defend. So Alizé needs to play semi final both in Tokyo and in Beijing with a very early Marion's loss in Tokyo. Marion will fight in order to avoid it.

Concerning end of year ranking, Marion has to defend Moscow, Zurich and Linz points when Alizé has nothing to defend. Fight will be very interesting.

It is possible that the struggle will finish in Quebec with a ranking closer to 10.

Great resource Lighter. I have been searching for a resource like this.

Do you know why tournaments such as Sydney, Strasbourg, Dubai etc are not included in Marion's points list?

It's easy. The calculation is made from 17 best results including 4 GS and Miami (compulsory tournaments).
And her 18th best result is currently Charleston with 60 pts and 19th Moscow with also 60 pts.
Sydney with 35 pts is her 20th result.

In case of defeat in Tokyo in 1st or 2nd round, she will loose the week after 125 pts from Luxembourg. But as she's got 60 pts from Charleston, she'll only lose 125-60 = 65 pts.

And as she's got 60 pts in Moscow last year not included in the calculation, she has nothing to lose. But it will be better to have a good result before end of year due to 150 pts from YEC.

If you don't understand the calculation, please tell me.
