Race and rankings

Now is a good time to compare the current Sony Ericsson WTA Tour top 20 rankings with the top 20 in the Race to the Championships. Here is the current top 20, rankings-wise:

Williams
Jankovic
Ivanovic
Dementieva
Safina
Sharapova
Kuznetsova
Williams
Zvonareva
Radwanska
Hantuchova
Chakvetadze
Schnyder
Bartoli
Azarenka
Pennetta
Wozniacki
Cornet
Szavay
Cibulkova

And here is a look at the race (the top 4 players have already qualified to play in the Sony Ericsson Championships):

Williams
Jankovic
Safina
Ivanovic
Dementieva
Sharapova*
Williams
Kuznetsova
Radwanska
Zvonareva
Wozniacki
Schnyder
Pennetta
Cornet
Chakvetadze
Azarenka
Bartoli
Cibulkova
Petrova
Srebotnik

*Not playing in the Sony Ericsson Championships because of injury

Vera Zvonareva is 357 points ahead of the next-in-line player in the race, Caroline Wozniacki, and Wozniacki is only 49 points ahead of Patty Schnyder, who is only 46 points ahead of Flavia Pennetta. Schnyder traditionally does well at the indoor carpet events, which will not take place until later in the season.
