For those of you wondering how the #1 ranking is shaping up, Venus getting to #1 is not ineviatable. (See, I do not call down the wrath of the Gods.)
She has to play. And win. If she doesn't win, her points are stagnant til Miami.

01 4825 17 Capriati
02 4481 14 Williams
02-18-02 (Drop Oklahoma City points from last year)
01 4684 17 Capriati
02 4481 14 Williams + Antwerp
02-25-02 (Drop Scottsdale points from last year)
01 4582 17 Capriati
02 4481 14 Williams + Antwerp + Dubai
03-18-02 (Drop Miami points from last year)
01 4291 17 Capriati
02 4038 14 Williams + Antwerp + Dubai
Assuming they both play Miami, Venus and Jenn should enter the tournament knowing that if either of them win it, they are #1. Making the finals in Antwerp and Dubai is probably sufficient.
