The only thing that gives her a bit of breathing room is the fact that she has no points to defend at Sydney, after that defending the ranking will be difficult until RG.

The good news is that there are lots of points to be picked up starting the early summer, the only thing big things she has to defend are the USO SF & the New Haven win. So if her game makes progress during the first half of the year, she can get on a roll and pick up lots of points in the second half.

I'm glad Caro finished 2011 as #1. She was brilliant in the first half.
But in the new season the main priority shouldn't be the ranking, it's likely to drop anyway.
What she need is to get her game back and re-build her confidence. She has to enjoy playing tennis again. Then she can start winning big tournaments and look at the rankings again.

Fingers crossed:
Caroline wins the Australian Open and spends at least 52 weeks in a row at #1

[backhandsmash]

Wozniacki & Huber head into off-season on top

"Caroline Wozniacki spends her 56th to 63rd weeks at No.1 in
the off-season. Her first 18 came from October 11, 2010 to February
13, 2011; after Kim Clijsters had a week there, she is now in
her second stint (these are her 38th to 45th straight weeks there)."

backhandsmash ^^ - I've taken your post and lined it up better. To do this - I changed everything in the code block table to Courier New font which gives the same spacing to every character. Then I manually lined it up adding / deleting spaces as necessary. And WYSIWYG - it lines up.

If you quote my post and then remove the quotes and this text to just leave the code block with the table - you can edit it for next time knowing it should all line up.

Your table was very difficult to read. It didn't line up and numbers were in the wrong columns making it very difficult. So the table I did - everything is aligned.

It's fine for me. Maybe different browsers?

Not since 1994 one has been No. 1 for a full year, Caro was sooo near!

Caroline Closes Season On Top

Ranking Watch: Caroline Closes Season On Top

NOVEMBER 08, 2011

Caroline Wozniacki's year did not include that long sought-after first Grand Slam title, but there were plenty of highlights, including being No.1 in the world on the season-ending rankings for the second straight year. The last player to achieve that feat was Justine Henin in 2007.

Wozniacki just missed another accomplishment, as she was one week short of maintaining the No.1 ranking the entire year (Kim Clijsters overtook her just the week of February 14). Here is a list of all who have been No.1 from a year's start to finish:

Player Year
Chris Evert 1977
Chris Evert 1981
Martina Navratilova 1983
Martina Navratilova 1984
Martina Navratilova 1986
Steffi Graf 1988
Steffi Graf 1989
Steffi Graf 1990
Monica Seles 1992
Steffi Graf 1994

Wozniacki will be hard-pressed to hold onto No.1 in 2012, though, as No.2 Petra Kvitova, whose six titles this year tied the Dane for most on the WTA, is in striking distance of the top spot. If she were to surpass Wozniacki, she would be the second Czech No.1 ever - Martina Navratilova having been the first. Regardless, Wozniacki is up to ninth place all-time in weeks spent at No.1.

Also of note, No.3 Victoria Azarenka finished with her best-ever season-ending ranking. No.4 Maria Sharapova had her best finish since 2006. Interestingly enough, five different countries were represented in the season-ending Top 5. That has only previously occurred three times - in 1991, 1992 and 1996. No.8 Agnieszka Radwanska and No.9 Marion Bartoli also had their career-best season ending rankings.

Or perhaps different skins on TF.

Aye, that's possible.

The post by backhandsmash was perfect on my system (Windows & Mozilla). But I know that tables using the "CODE" formatting may come out differently depending on the browser. For instance, some users in the past have complained that my tables were unreadable with IE when I used Tab-stops in the "CODE" formatting. Spaces seems to be a safer route than tab stops.
