08-12-03 Race to the Chase (only eight go this year)

This is starting to get tricky for my girls...they have to start playing( specially Venus) otherwise they won´t make to L.A.

if patty wins the US Open she could still make it. that's not really an unrealistic expection in my opinion.

Then you are an idiot

I'd be more than happy if it was those 8 at the championships.

mate that really doesn't hurt one bit. for you to think i was being serious shows just what an idiot you are. i see you're still suffering from that problem of being a little arsehole.

I think everyone can agree that the people who are in the top 8 now are probably the best 8 players on tour. Though we may not agree on the order, I think it's suffice to say that the numbers aren't lying in this case. While I don't really like the best 8 system, I do think that the benefit is that it really reveals who the best are - while the best 16 may not necessariliy show who the best really are.

I am surprised (but pleased) to see Amelie so high, just because she's been injured lately, but I'm impressed that she had so many points before that she's able to keep up that spot.

Very impressed with Venus and Serena Serene has less than half the events of Kim and is still only 750 points back :lol:

If Serena, or someone in the top 8 pulls out then that eighth spot will be interesting to watch.

in all reality zvonareva and sugiyama are the only real threats to the established order. the way these girls have been performing this year it wouldn't be surprising to see them sneak through the draw to the semis of the US Open. having said that a player like ai could just as easily lose in the first round to asagoe or obata.

These players aren't in the top 25 in Chase points, which means they have virtually no shot at L.A., which is only taking eight players this year.

Jelena Dokic
Patty Schnyder
Elena Bovina
Alexandra Stevenson
Svetlana Kuznetsova
Monica Seles

Has Jelena Dokic dropped out of the top 25 already .

Monica but she's only played three matches since Amelia island ...

Go Conchita get the eighth slot (in my dreams I know ).

We know the reason for this. Not talking about Serena, but I'd take Kim's year over Venus' any time.

If Lindsay pulls out, Ai and Vera could get a chance.

LMFAO

Serena might pull out, so whoever is 10th in points will go.

Im sure Venus would to seeing as though shes been hampered by her injury anyhow.... Im extremely pleased with Venus's point total seeing that shes only played 6 tournments

Yea, that is damn impressive. Only 6 tournments and look where she is. Those girls are pretty awesome.

I think the last eight is already set!!!

It's a pity that no Russian girls can make it......

Bump..
Could someone update the numbers? It must be getting interesting with Dementieva, Sugiyama, Zvonareva, Myskina getting closer to the leading 8..

Update please !!!!!
