Can serena williams become number one after the us open?

Question

She is only 600 points from ivanovic and would have to happen for her to acheive this rankings

Answer 1

Serena williams can be number 1 after us open... if she wins and ana ivanovic loses before 4th round, if jelena loses in quarter finals and if maria sharapova, loses before 4th round

Answer 2

the other top seeds would have to crash out relatively early... ivanovic in the fourth round, sharpova before the quarters, and jankovic before the quarters...

serena would also have to win it... and then win the season ending championships.. a very big feat for serena... and even with Justine henin out, i do not think Serena can consistently dominate along with her sister.. not consistent enough still.

Answer 3

She is surprisingly to many others, in the thick of it. However for her to do so, she will have to be healthy, win The Open, and a tournament or two thereafter, especially The Championships( season ending).
