You underestimate Pliskova. She isn't one of the only players to beat both Venus and Serena at a major for nothing. She's here to stay!

But Cinci is right after that, and in that event there are 900 points to be defended by Pliskova... at at the US Open another 1300.#ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl#Early losers in that event (R1, R2 or R3) were Ostapenko, Cibulkova, Konta, Svitolina, Mladenovic.&nbsp; #ed_op#br#ed_cl#

Venus had that match in hand and let it slip. Serena was injured.

In any event, as Vee astutely stated, someone has to be No. 1.

If Rojay and Venus win W, they're their respective World No.1.

Rojay has AO and Venus was a finalist there. Overall, they've performed best this year, assuming a final victory.
