If venus or serena wins the wimbledon,what would be their ranking status be?

Question

can they be no. 1 again?

Answer 1

Venus will stay at #7 in the world, as she has a lot of ranking points to defend.  If she makes the final, but loses, then she will drop to #8, and will be overtaken by Anna Chakvetadze.

If Serena wins, she will become #4, as she will overtake Dementieva and Kuznetsova.

Answer 2

Serena will go up to number 5 but Venus will remain at number 7.  They can become number one if they want to because the players above them are not playing well at all. It's a shame that all the top players were out so soon.  I think most of them are over rated especially Sharapova but if you have top 4 going out so soon to people who do not even have rankings it's showing the weakness in their games.

Answer 3

Venus can win nothing because she has to defend the title. Serena in the best case can go up to rank 5 (from 6) if she wins the tournament.

Serena can't go up to #4 because she can only win 750 points in case of a tournament win. she will lose the 250 points from the last year and 750 points aren't enough because Jankovic exactly reached the same round as last year and Kuznetsova lose 100 points what makes her stay on #4 if Dementieva doesn't win the tournament (what i don't think will happen). Sharapova will lose only 115 points what makes her fall to #3.

Ivanovic will stay on #1 in any case.

Answer 4

serena might be #5

Answer 5

Agree.  Venus can gain nothing as she is the defending champion.  Serena can raise up to No.5 or maybe No. 4 if she wins.
