to #2 - Where is Serena you ask? Are you freaking­ serious man? Did you even look at the damn draw? ­ Petrova, the 12th ranked woman in the world, is the #1­ seed. The next highest ranked woman in the draw,­ Aleksandra Wozniak, is ranked 35th in the world. And­ after her, the next highest ranked women in the tourney­ are Safarova and Czink, ranked 50 and 52 in the world,­ respectively. And after these two, the rest of the­ women are either outside the top 100 in the world, or­ BARELY inside of it.

Your question should not be where­ is Serena. It should be where are ANY of the top women­ in the game. None of them are playing in the­ tournament. So why should Serena? I bet Serena was­ like, "why would I play this tournament? there is­ absolutely no competition here." Do you think­ she'd play it for money? hahhaaha yeah right...she­ doesn't need money. lol why would they bother­ playing in a tournament that was a tier III tourney. ­ LOLOL.

Serena doesn't need the points. ::giggle::­ The notion that Serena needs the points is laughable. ­ If anyone needs them, it's Safina. It's only a­ matter of time before Serena catches up and re-claims­ her rightful ranking. I'm surprised she hasn't­ already, but the fact that Safina plays every damn­ tournament she can (and she often does so­ strategically, playing the ones where the best players­ are not, so as to give herself a better chance of­ winning and therefore earning more ranking points) and­ had a very good season last season are the primary­ reasons. However, if she keeps choking and losing to­ these no-name players, Serena will be back on top even­ sooner. OHHHH and if Serena had not lost her temper at­ the US Open, she may have been able to come back and­ beat Clijsters and win yet ANOTHER US Open title. This­ is very plausible. She has come back from far worse­ deficits before. Just think, if she HAD done that, she­ would be #1 as of this very moment, if I'm not­ mistaken.

Next time t

Why do you think, comment No 2, that Serena needs the­ points more?
And how retarded are you to ask where­ Serena is at...dude, if you are a racist with no shame,­ you shouldn't expose yourself on a network like­ this. Go look for where skinheads bombard with hatred­ and senseless comments.
Gosh how much I hate those­ wicked people

So where's Serena attaha. She needs the points more­ than Safina does.

Russian Stallion on a lone mission, The rest are­ rsting. Safina should be here
