what about Venus? How long do they have to be gone to get the special seedings. Whoever gets Venus in the quarters is going to be mad...

 

[NicoMary]

Players need to be out more than 8 months to ask and to get a special and protected rankings so none of the williams will use that

 

[anton]

why are you crying?

 

[Infiniti2001]

Are you trying to open up pandora's box?? Venus and Serena will be seeded according to their rankings and nothing else... I swear "some" of you enjoy Williams bashing here

 

[slydevil6142]

The sisters dont need to be seeded #1 to win! In fact ide rather see Venus not seeded #1 b/c thats when she tends to win, and yes i do feel very badly for whoever has Venus in their quarter... just goes to show that rankings dont really matter b/c Venus seeded at #6 should be able to mop the floor with anyone she plays besides Serena!

 

[justine&coria]

Serena shouldn't be seeded number 1, but number 3, cause the belgians have been ahving a wonderful year.
But I think, Venus should be seeded 4, not 6.

Of course, I meant, when all these 4 players play in one tournament.

 

[anton]

Venus should get a speical seeding I think. It is obvious she is not #6. I'm not sure about Serena yet.

 

[Ryan]

Whats obviousy is that Serena is #3, and Venus is #6. Unless they're injured for 8 months, they'll be seeded by their ranking.

I thought it was 6 months?!?

Anyways,
It doesn't matter what they are ranked.
However, if I were any of the players
above them, I'd be worried.

Come to think of it,
I think Venus was only ranked #1
once while winning her 4 Salm Titles?!?

 

[Monsters]

not for Serena, but i think Venus will probably
get that special seeding, as much as i want
to see Venus seeded #5, i just dont think the organizer
is gonna risking the defending finalist to
play her sister in QF
but hey, you'll never know, maybe Serena wont
play AO and Venus will go shopping around with
her or something, you'll never know

 

[Volcana]

The only issue is whether or not they're on the same side of the draw.
OZ might seed Serena #2, a small bow to the defending champ.

 

[Vicky88]

Hmm am puzzled why anyone would think that Venus should get a special seeding as #1 when she hasn't held that position for the longest time.

exactly. i do believe serena IS the number 1 player but Venus shouldnt even be considered.

 

[anton]

if they dont play until LA then its an 8 woman round robin isnt it? so is the seeding very important.

maybe not.

 

[sensuous_vonda]

No.

 

[maria's man]

Serena should be seeded No1 if possible but 4 seems right for Venus...

 

[propi]

Maybe in WImbledon as they have that silly way of making the seedings

 

[Martian Willow]

...what's the point of the rankings if they don't use them...?

 

[Serendy Willick]

They should be seeded acording to their ranking so that they can commence to give the Belgians and anyone else ranked above or below them the beatdowns they deserve.

 

[anton]

...what's the point of the rankings if they don't use them...?

but what if venus slips to #9 then she could miss the year end championships
