Projected 2004 Gold Exempt List
1 Clijsters 6099=>QF
2 Henin-Hardenne 5399=>QF
3 S Williams 4955
4 Davenport 3401=>QF

11 Maleeva 1685
12 Sugiyama 1667
13 Hantuchova 1622
14 Martinez 1625
15 Petrova 1576
Fifteen of the Sixteen direct spots are already taken. Zvonareva needs Suarez to lose to Davenport, otherwise Paola will take the 16th spot. This leads us to our next question, who will the 4 Wildcards go to? Only the following girls can be nominated:
Interestingly enough, Harkleroad needs Pierce to lose to Myskina to be considered. If this happens my picks would be: Seles, Harkleroad, Coetzer, and maybe Dokic.
