"....#ed_op#br#ed_cl#Here's how the scenarios shake out:#ed_op#br#ed_cl#- Halep will remain at No.1 if she wins the title in Shenzhen. #ed_op#br#ed_cl#- Muguruza will need to reach the final in Brisbane in order to have a chance at returning to No.1. #ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl#- If Muguruza finishes as runner-up in Brisbane, Halep would need to reach the semifinals in Shenzhen in order to stay at No.1.#ed_op#br#ed_cl#- If Muguruza finishes as runner-up in Brisbane and Halep is a semifinalist in Shenzhen, they would both have the same ranking points. #ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl#However, Halep holds the tie-breaker and would therefore remain at No.1, as she has more points among WTA Finals, Grand Slams, Premier Mandatory and Premier 5 events over the last 12 months (Halep: 5,636 vs. Muguruza: 5,396).#ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl#- Wozniacki is looking to return to No.1 for the first time since January 2012. She needs to win the Auckland title, with Muguruza losing  before the final in Brisbane and Halep losing before the quarterfinals in Shenzhen.#ed_op#br#ed_cl#...#ed_op#br#ed_cl#"#ed_op#br#ed_cl#

- Wozniacki is looking to return to No.1 for the first time since January 2012. She needs to win the Auckland title, with Muguruza losing before the final in Brisbane and Halep losing before the quarterfinals in Shenzhen.
I hope this doesn't happen.#ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#/span#ed_cl#
