Who thinks nadal and serena will end the year #1 if so why? If not who will end the year #1 in atp n wta why?

Question

Best reason gets best answer

Answer 1

if serena wins all the tournaments she plays from now on and all the girls above her lose constantly early, she may move up the rankings but she won't finish #1 on paper.. she doesn't have enough points. but with her performance this season.. she's pretty much up there.. serena and sharapova are the winningest players this season (31-4 for both)..but for year end #1 it's still between sharapova and ivanovic this year.. wimbledon was a hiccup, but they have the rest of the season to earn and defend their ranking points.

nadal is only a few hundred points behind federer now. he has a chance compared to serena.. federer hasn't been federer lately (in a winning sense).. although most pros would still wish for a season like he has had so far. i mean SF, F, F in slams, that's still pretty d**n good. but by his own standard, it's been a pretty mediocre season.. im not sure how much points federer and nadal have to defend between now and season's end.. but it's certainly pretty close, and nadal is the factor to why so many people write about how tennis' guard is changing.. but since we're talking about who's finishing #1.. it's going to be between these two.. djokovic may have just put himself out of contention when he lost so many points during wimbledon.. he's now around 1000 points behind nadal so i don't think he will catch up.. unless he doubles up his tournament participation.

Answer 2

I think nadal can do it if he dominates the masters series and comes in the semis at the US open, for the women idk, because serena seems to not care at some points but if she commits she will win the U.S. open and finsh atleast in the top 3 cus i think she has too many points to make up

Answer 3

While they are my fav male and female players, I dont think they will end up number oen this season, but more importantly, in other players minds, they are the top players. Williams Sisters when healthy are the best in world no doubt. Due to injuries and not playing many tourneys through the season, there ranking is lower. yet for the average tourneys they play, most of the players woudl die to have their records, titles, rankings. Nadal can actually gain ground if he performs very well on the hard courts this summer and continue to  beat Federer. Thats if they both get to finals. The evel of tennsi has increased immensely and not easy for both of them. yet Nadal, as he has shown and proved on grass, has to improve on hard courts now.

Answer 4

nadal will be no.1

Answer 5

To the first comment: Ivanovic can beat the Williams sisters badly? That is a joke, Venus can kill her and has proved it numerous times. Serena would eat her up and spit her out. Its definitely going to be another Williams final at the US Open.

I do agree that Serena and Rafael will be number ones at the end of the  year. Its a shame that Venus does not play a lot during the US Open series b/c she can gain so many points to be number 1.

Answer 6

Nadal, yes. Serena, no. Nadal is an incredible player, and i totally believe he will be #1, however, serena didn't even win wimbeldon, maybe you meant venus. Even so, they won't first. Although Ana Ivanovic didn't make it far in Wimbeldon, she can beat the Williams pretty bad, and I believe that she, or of the Russians will end up first.

Answer 7

i believe he did mean serena because even though venus won she didnt go higher in the rankings b ecause she won it last year, while serena made it to the finals jumped in the rankings
