No - she is assured of #1 for a few more weeks.
As for how Kim will react - she had the same thing happen in the Roland Garros final, and she bounced back fine. She's been criticized as #1 for weeks now, too, and she has done fine with that.
I see Kim finishing out the year the same way she has played all year.
The reason she will do this is the same reason she doesn't dig deep in these big matches - she just doesn't view tennis as big as others do. Kim doesn't need to win like Justine and Serena do; as Kim has said over and over, she would rather be a good person.
