As a matter of fact I think I am going to enjoy this top ranking swap situation. NOTHING, absolutely NOTHING motivates both sisters more than beating players ahead of them. The rankings can say whatever the hell they want to say, the Willies will show the world one more time who the best players in the world are.
Justine and Kim are great players, no doubt about it. But if they become 1 and 2 in the world they will have double pressure on them:
1 - Beat a Williams sister
2 - Make justice to the rankings.
Will they be able to cope with this? Beating players ranked higher than them is all the sister have been doing since they joined the tour. This is no new task to them, it's no pressure to them. The Belgiums have to live with the burden of not being able to beat the Willies on a regular basis, but being ranked ahead of them. From now on, more than ever before, every time they face a Williams all they will tell to themselves is: I HAVE TO BEAT HER, I HAVE TO BEAT HER.
Will the pressure bring them down? Stay tunned.
