At this point as long as she keeps winning slams, who cares if shes number one or not? I don't. If it happens, fine, if not, fine. I mean once it was shown that being number one is meaningless then I lost all interest. To me the rankings serve one purpose, to support the tour. Outside of that other factors determine who is the best in the world. As it was noted over and over when Martina was at the top, being number one does not mean you are the best or have any credibility if you can't back it up with slams.

When the players themselves say they would rather win slams than be number one, well that says a lot. I think people focus on number one so much with Venus simply because she has never attained it, and use that somehow against her. Who cares! Either way she rules and is a fantastic player.

The mystique of number one was shortchanged when everyone realized that you dont have to win a slam to be number one:martina hingis.

until the system rewards quality over quantity number one will not mean much, but I guess its still nice to have. Like a breath mint after supper.:wavey:
