I still don't think she will get there, but let's assume she does. Does she really deserve to stay there if the only way to do so is to win small clay tournaments in far away places no other top player plays? I think not...

280 of her current 1635 ranking points come from her 2 Winter clay titles. She's done great on hardcourts this year, so her current ranking is a product of a lot more than clay results.

I'm not even a fan, really. I think I'm more impressed that a 26 year old is in the midst of a career season, and has become one of the top players in the WTA. And that 7 of the Top 15 players are 25 or older.
