Rankings (WTA)

[GameSetAndMath]

She really needs to win Wimbledon and win a tourney after and win the US Open to have some cushion. She has points she can earn after the Open to secure #1.

If she wins Wimbledon, I don't think she needs to win USO to retain #1. She only defends puny SF points there.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Well winning the US Open would put an end to it.

what is the dope fiend ranking...

 

[10isfan]

The doper is ranked 95.

If Kerber wins in Canada, she will be 1000 points behind Serena. The top five women have been cooperative in helping Serena keep a cushion.

Wow, go Maddy, and she still has room for improvement and maturity. If she stays on this track she can do very well.

[GameSetAndMath]

It is rumored that Serena will skip Cincy and play straight at USO. This is bad news considering that Serena needs to remain at #1 till end of Sep. to break Steffi's record of consecutive weeks at #1. Serena is now so close to that record. Needs to hold on #1 for about a month and half or so.

Only players who can oust here are Kerber, Garbine, Halep and Aga. Olympics not awarding points helped Serena in this regard.

no way she is gonna play Cincy.. I think that she just wants to win USO not so much Graf's consecutive week record, IMO

Well, even if she does not win USO, she will surely get another chance to bring home #23. However, if she misses out on the CONSECUTIVE week record this time, she won't get another chance at it.

Of course, if she wins USO, she can accomplish both in one stroke (independent of whether she plays in Cincy).

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Serena is going to need some help from Angelique because if Kerber wins Cincy then she will take over #1. Serena is currently at 7950 and Kerber 6375. Serena will lose 900 if she doesn't play Cincy and Kerber will gain 900 if she wins Cincy. The hope might lie in the fact that Kerber might not want to play after Rio if she goes into the medal rounds. If neither plays Cincy, that will put Serena at 7050 and Kerber at 6375. Serena then loses 780 points for her SF appearance at the Open and that puts her at 6270 and Kerber loses 130 for her 3rd round appearance putting her at 6245. Serena maintaining her edge relies on Cincinnati and what happens there. If Kerber doesn't play, Serena is golden barely. If Serena plays Cincy, it would lessen the points that she loses even if she doesn't win.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

I can't see Kerber playing Cincy since tournament play starts on the 13th and she is still in Rio, so jet lag and or travel could be key to maybe keeping Kerber from playing Cincy or from going far.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

I can't see Kerber playing Cincy since tournament play starts on the 13th and she is still in Rio, so jet lag and or travel could be key to maybe keeping Kerber from playing Cincy or from going far.

The top seeds like Kerber get a bye in the first round and therefore she does not have to play till Thursday if needed.

 

[delPoFearhand]

Remember that the top seeds usually do not play until Tuesday or Wednesday (16th or 17th in this case). The top 8 seeds get a bye in the first round, I think partially because it is assumed they may have been playing in a final of some sort the week before.

As for the travel/jet lag... I mean, these are professional tennis players. That's what they do. The ones who make it to the top of the tournaments and the rankings are the ones who figure out how to manage those aspects of their life. But who knows, you may be right, and the cumulative effect could drag her down.

 

[10isfan]

Welcome, delPofearhand! I like your screen name. I have been following Potro closely since his return from surgery and could not be happier about his still being in the Rio singles draw.

Great posts from you. Keep them coming.
