This is one plausible scenario. Biased, yes. Several considerations must be understood at the onset.
- Regardless of points to be dropped along the way to yearend, only the 17 best results of 2003 will be tallied in the end for the two girls involved.
- Kim has room for 5 more tourneys and Venus, 11.
- In support of my scenario (forgive me, this is my post) I assume:
For Kim, 3 Tier-2 wins and 2 Major finals (ie, USOpen and TourChamp). Such results should definitely be part of her best 17, thereby displacing lower results from other tourneys she might enter.
For Venus, 3 Tier-2, 3 Tier-1 and 2 Major wins, that's 8 tourneys. She has room for 3 more tourneys which I assume she either blew or didn't enter for lack of energy.
- Points assigned to the tourneys are estimates based on past results.
BTW, a column could be generated for Justine as well with end result not far from Kim's. Right now, on the yearend race, Justine stands at 3743 pts and 11 tourneys. Again, this is a plausible scenario skewed towards Venus. Now, have a go at it, and, as usual, without reserve.
