That year, Venus won two Grand Slams, four other titles (I think) and an Olympic medal (which didn't count in her ranking), but was still number four in the world. Martina Hingis was still ranked number one, even thoug she hadn't won a Grand Slam since the 1999 AO. When the ranking system was questioned, it was changed slightly. Now, we have the same problem, but a little worse. Kim is the ranked number one, but has yet to win a Grand Slam title. Justine and Serena have won two Slams each this year, but both are ranked below Kim. It is understandable that Serena is because she was injured in the beginning of the year and for the entire summer and wasn't able to defend her pointss, but Justine has not been injured and played a full schedule(even though she pulled out of Rome, where she was defending finalist points). I will not be surprised that the WTA is asked questions about this and they re-examine the way they calculate the rankings.
BTW, I have no problem with the way the ranking system works now, but others do and this is why I brought it up.
