Looks like we'll have to wait a while longer before we see Masha in action. Just hope she'll be fit and ready for the U.S. Open.

Don't you just hate how people go on and on saying that she doesn't deserve the #1 spot? (A.o. at WtaWorld) When you're #1 it's because you have the most points, so if Maria is #1 it's becuase she has the most points and therefore she deserves it. Or do I just see it wrongly?

As a former T.V. football pundit used to be fond of saying "The League Table doesn't lie!" However my own opinion is that the truly great players are defined as such by the number of Grand Slam tournament victories they acquire, as opposed to the Number of weeks they spend at No. 1.
I wonder weather Masha would prefer to remain at No. 2 and win the U.S. Open, or become No. 1 and fail in the GS event? I know my preference ( in order that i listed them ) how do you feel?
P.S. It's a bit academic as i believe that the No. 1 spot thing is already decided, but i hope you see my point. Hopefully she'll be No. 1 AND win the U.S. - that'ld be just perfect!

That's what they said about amelie but her case was different. she didn't have a grand slam behind her belt and yet she became no.1. i think that's the greatest achievement ever..2 b no.1 without a grand slam behind you.

This will be a good trivia for tennis fan: Who is the player who played against Davenport who ended up gave Davenport the #1 ranking after she lost? Hint: She also played against Maria Sharapova and ended up gave Maria the #1 ranking after she lost.
