It sounded to me as if Venus DOES want the number one ranking. I agree that slams are more important, but I would really think that being number one is probably the second most special feeling in tennis. You do not get to number one without winning a grand slam...so becoming number one is usually a very sweet reward for winning a few slams. In a way, number one might be better. Players can win a grand slam much easier than they can attain the number one ranking

Before Jen got to number one, I didn't think about it much, but I am so happy she is number one...It is like a grand slam...you can never take it away from them...So if and when Venus becomes number one, it will feel like a slam. I guarantee it!
