I fear she's run out of time for this year. The rest of the tournaments, plus the performances by others ahead of her, should make that virtually impossible, right? Have you worked out what needs to happen to get her there? Does she get in if she wins all 3 tournaments?

No, as she is only playing luxembourg for the rest of the season. She declined to play the Asian swing as she wants to go back home, as its her great grandparents 85th birthday and she missed his 80th due to tennis, and she wants to be home for the birth of her sisters baby, which is due soon.

Slam winners should automately be included for the YEC. Who would you want to see at YEC, Safina or Cljisters? Vote now!

I was under the impression that she wouldn't be playing again this year, or only a couple of tournaments if she did. Therefore I voted no.

I remember Gaudio qualifying for the year-end championships without being in the top 8. But he won a slam that year, so he was eligible to participate. Did they change this rule on the ATP or not?

I read an article she wasnt playing until October 11th or something. That would seem to make it hard to make up enough points to qualify nor does she seem that motivated to do so.
