I think that there is a posibility for Martina to be Nº 1 in the world again, because she has only won 3 tournament in the first part of the year, and has not got so much points to defend.
I think that other candidate to keep going as Nº 1 is Lindsay if she makes a good performances in Grand Slams. Besides she was out for over three months and missed Roland Garros.
Jennifer has got LOTS of points to defend, specially in the first part of the year and it'll be hard for her to mantain that level. Equally, she only ten points away from Lindsay, but still i don't think she'll be able to mantain the position N1 1 (if she gets there) for long.<br /> <br /> And Venus also has got chances, and many chances. But she has to defend the titles of Wimledon and US OPEN and that's heavy. So she must play more tournaments (as we all know) and be consistent.
Besides this four, Serena Williams is still far away from Nº1 positions, but she promised she'd play more tournaments, so we'll see. And Justine and Kim should make great performances next year, but I still don't think they'll get to Nº1 in 2002.
These are all my thoughts and I don't pretend to offence no one in any sense.<br /> <br /> Joaquin <img src="cool.gif" border="0">
