I think so, too. But from what she said, it seems like the way the tournament officials communicated their decision made the situation worse: not asking her, not really explaining it to her either, but just telling her to go out and play.
I remember that at a GS tournament last year, a match between Venus and Sania Mirza was supposed to be moved to another court, so that the men's amtch could start on Center Court, but both players insisted on the original OoP. I am just bringing this up to show that this kind of thing really is a big deal to players, not just to Dinara.

One last thing: I understand how frustrated it must feel when more or less everyone treats you like some kind of fraud who cheated her way to the Number one ranking. Whether if it is Serena or Jankovic talking about why Dinara shouldn't be No. 1, the press not shutting up about it - seriously, what more can she say about that matter?- or the tournament officials moving her match without even consulting with her about the decision.
I knwo there are better ways to handle the situation, but I do understand her frustration.
WOW, Tina I stand on opposite sides of the ranking controversy but I must say I agree 100% with your post.

I just wish everyone would shut up and maybe with less pressure Dinara can figure this out. I'm not a fan but clearly the ranking system was not created by her and she should not be blamed for it.
