Who will really finish at number 1?
Justine isn't playing any events right now, but the race to Madrid continues.
Here's a brief summery of possible scenarios.

There are only three players that can possibly become the number 1 player for
2006. The others are too far behind, and it's no surprise that the leading
trio all won a major this year. They are the current number 1 Amelie
Mauresmo, Justine at number 2 and Maria Sharapova at number 3. The woman from
France, Mauresmo is playing Zurich this week, and Madrid. Maria is in for
Zurich, Linz and Madrid. Justine as you all know is training to hopefully be
in for Madrid.


In our calculations we are assuming that Mauresmo, Justine, and Maria are not
adding anything more to their schedules.

If Justine is a finalist at Madrid she will be number 1.

If Justine is a semi-finalist in Madrid.
Mauresmo must win Madrid and Zurich to remain number 1.

In order for Maria to become number 1 she must win Madrid and Zurich, and
reach the semi-finals in Linz or win Madrid and Linz, but must reach the
finals in Zurich.

If Justine finishes third in her round robin group in Madrid.

Mauresmo must win Madrid, and make the semi-finals in Zurich to remain number
1 or she must win Zurich and be a finalist in Madrid.

Sharapova must be a finalist in Madrid, win Zurich and be a finalist in Linz
or she must win Madrid and have results that are better than the semi's in
Zurich and Linz to become number 1.

If Justine were to finish last in her round robin group in Madrid.
Mauresmo, and Maria must be finalists in Sony Ericsson WTA Championships
to earn enough points to become this year's number 1 player.

If Justine doesn't participate in Madrid.

Mauresmo and Maria will only need to make the semi-finals in Madrid to
accumulate enough points to become number 1.

We'll know more about the numbers race after the results of Zurich all arrive.
