She said on TV she thinks she will call it a season and then get ready for Australia. Recovery is 8 to 12 weeks, and for 4 of those weeks, she has to stay off of the foot.

What would her ranking be like then?

She will just lose all of her points from now until she returns. Which would only be 679 which should leave her in the top 8 by Australia.

I hope venus doesnt play until aussie land too. That would give her plenty of recup time.

Although the selfish fan in me wants to see her play and blitz the indoor season, it would be every nice if she and Serena both waited until Australia because they would receive protected rankings in Australia. Venus said she was playing the fall season though. She shouldn't be out with injury too much longer. From what I heard her stomach was fine, but her conditioning wasn't there from being out so long, and she would have risked further injury if she didn't strengthen herself before she came back.
