Question

Why is Venus Williams' ranking unchanged after her win at Wimbledon, and her sister's ranking went up a spot?

Answer 1

to add to what's already been said too,venus also hasn't done much in the last few months,whereas serena has improved significantly in her results after last year's wimby,especially the last months. thereby,bettering her result from last year + her other results this year,serena rose.

Answer 2

Because Venus was the defending champion, and winning the title again this year earns her the same number of rankings points as last year, a net gain of zero, so her ranking stays the same.  Serena on the other hand lost in the quarterfinals last year, so by reaching the final this year she gains significantly more points over last year's result (450 more points to be exact), and thus the jump from #6 to #5.

Answer 3

Because as the defending champion from last year Venus defended the 1000 points she gained from winning last year so therefore she doesn't gain any extra points for winning this year and she stays put in her ranking. But Serena however only got to the quarterfinals last year, and this year she got to the finals so she got I think some 450 points, maybe more or less, and so that's why she is now number 5 in the world. The ranking system is a little complicated sometimes,LOL. But that's basically why.

Answer 4

She didn't gain any points as she had already won it last year.So she had to defend them which she did.....

Serena lost in the semifinals but this year reached the finals...so she gained some points which made you upset.....

Answer 5

serena went to the finals this year, better than she had last year and venus defended her title, therefore her ranking did not change

Answer 6

She was the winner for the previous, year so she's defending her points and doesn't gain more.

Answer 7

Since venus defended her points while serena gained points because her preformance improved from the quarter finals to the finals.
