Question

Do you think that with the talent in the top ten that Serena and Venus should be ranked 1 and 2?

Answer 1

based on there accomplishments and talent yes they should be ranked 1 and 2.. but on more recent performances and inconsistency they are where they are for a reason....

Answer 2

No. Absolutely not.

Answer 3

the words "should be".

unlike sharapova, who is committed to tennis and with heart and drive, the williams lack commitment and often wonder off or side-tracked.

there is no doubt about the talent and physically gifted, but we all have seen many wasted or derail talents in the past.

Answer 4

no. rankings are not awarded for mere talent,they are awarded for results.....and if they had the consistent results the last years they would be there but they just haven't. and what are you implying exactly in the way you say 'with the talent in the top 10'?? as if their talent is below the williams sisters....that these other girls are just chumps compared with them? excusee,but some of these girls have slams themselves....they also have great results....and some have even beaten the both williams sisters. if what you seem to suggest is actually true,they would be completely invincible and would never get beaten.

Answer 5

Should they be?  No, because they haven't earned it with their results in the past 52 weeks, which is what the rankings are based on.  They certainly have the potential to be #1 and 2 again, but they haven't had that kind of consistency in a long time, and consistency is what rules the rankings.

Answer 6

I believe that if you look strictly at the talents of the players, yes. They both are two of the greatest tennis players the world has ever seen and i would challenge anyone who thinks they aren't. They can play with, and beat, any player within the top ten, no doubt about it. The problem comes to their frequency of play, not quality. they simply do not play enough due to injuries they attain. If they had the ability to play as often as the players in the top ten, they would definitely be able to place within the top ten, if not 1 & 2.

Answer 7

Certainly they both have talent, but they have not played that well.  They are far from consistent, and are better suited at 6 & 7 where they are now, I could see them moving up to 4 & 5, but until they regain their form of 5 years ago, they are not going to be ranked that high till they earn it.  The don't have the mobility or health that many of the younger players do.

Answer 8

they r good...don't get me wrong but they had the prime of their careers already. I don't see them jumping to 1 and 2 anytime in the future. I think they have talent but the new players out their that are younger and more fit than them can easily beat them. For instance, Ivanovic clearly deserves to be #1 and she could destroy the Williams sisters. The new talent in the wta tour is very good like Radwanska.

Answer 9

They are certainly more talented than Jankovic.

Answer 10

no!!!!
