It's beneficial in a way that she can receive a top 20 WC next season, should she need it.

If she loses Helsinki points is she still Top 20???

Yes, but Helsinki's points don't really matter, because the year-end rank is locked after Sofia finishes. After this, the points count towards the next season, and the race re-starts (so you can see some unusual names in the top of the race till January  ).

Yes, they do. I remember players like Karatantcheva, Mladenovic, Lertcheewakarn and Tabak were leading the race before Kaia rose to #1 after Brisbane

Re: Kaia Ranking & Schedule Thread
Anyone know what her first tournament of the year will be? I know she pulled out of the Australian Open so sometime after that?

Re: Kaia Ranking & Schedule Thread
She usually plays the bigger tournaments if she gets to the main draw. I think it's most likely she'll start with Paris indoors, followed by Doha and Dubai (I don't think she'd get to the main draw in the latter though).. (or maybe even Memphis-Acapulco). Either way, I hope she'll be at least back for IW-Miami.

They stay the same as 2012 with Doha being a P5 and Dubai being a Premier.
The rankings date used for seeds in 2012 for
Doha was February 6th
Dubai was February 13th
If the rankings date stays the same as last year Kaia may be able to benefit from playing in Paris (Premier). She will be safe enough for entry to Doha (56 player draw). But she stands to lose 570 points from missing Brisbane and the Australian Open which could leave her in the late 30s in rankings. That could be too low for entry to Dubai (28 Player draw) with 8 of the Top 10 playing there this year. But a good run in Paris could change that of course

 Wasn't she supposed to play Paris? Some setbacks in recovery?

Kaia Schedule Thread
Anett+Them Eesti Gals have to be the best players that ever existed
Kaia hit 24 Aces (the WTA record) vs Safarova Tokyo Round 1 2008 
Stripping Sam Stosur of her serve is like stripping a paedophile of his children: They become useless
