SPECIAL RANKINGS AND SEEDS GRANTED TO SERENA AND VENUS WILLIAMS
The WTA Tour has granted a special ranking and seeding to third-ranked Serena Williams and 11th-ranked Venus Williams under the Tour’s Special Ranking Rule for injured players.
At the first eight tournaments (excluding Grand Slam events and the WTA Tour Championships) that Serena enters upon her return to the WTA Tour, she will have a special singles ranking of No.1 and a special doubles ranking of No.22; Venus will have a special singles ranking of No.4. In addition, for her first four non-Grand Slam tournaments, Serena will have a special singles seeding of No.2 and Venus will have a special singles seeding of No.3. Depending upon their results, their special seeding may be
extended for the remaining four tournaments of their special ranking status.
In tournaments where the No.2-ranked player (currently Kim Clijsters) is in the field with Serena, that player would be seeded ahead of Serena. Likewise, when the No.3-ranked player is in the field with Venus, that player would be seeded ahead of Venus.
The Special Ranking Rule, which has been applied in recent years to injury situations involving Lindsay Davenport, Steffi Graf and Monica Seles, applies to top 300-ranked players sidelined by injury for at least six months, and reflects a player’s ranking at the time they were knocked out of competition. Serena (knee injury) and Venus (abdominal strain) last played at Wimbledon when Serena was ranked No.1 and Venus was No.4.
Under the rule’s provision for a special seeding, a player’s seeding has traditionally been determined by the player’s average ranking during the previous 52 weeks before their injury, as well as other criteria. For the 52 weeks prior to Serena’s injury, she had an average ranking of 1; Venus had an average ranking of 2.3 during the same period.
Quality points will be awarded to players who defeat Serena and Venus based on their special seeding (i.e.: players who defeat Serena, whose special seeding is No.2, will be awarded quality points typically earned by defeating a No.2- ranked player; players who defeat Venus, who has a special seeding of No.3, will earn points typically awarded for defeating a No.3-ranked player) regardless of their actual seeding in a tournament.
Grand Slam tournaments have the option of adopting the Tour’s special seeding for the Williams sisters. Recently, the Australian Open announced it supported the Tour’s special seeding for Venus and would seed her accordingly for next week’s tournament in Melbourne.
