Well firstly, I really do hope Lindsay is OK for the start of the Australian hardcourt season. At the moment there appears to be doubt over that being the case. (?)
Secondly, I agree with Rollo that this is indicative of the season this year. Forget Hingis losing the #1, Hingis being at #1 with no slams, Capriati being #1 then losing it again, Lindsay getting to #1 with no slams, this is the WORST possible permutation to the end of the season.
