Wow. I wasn't expecting such a big jump. I thought Wozniacki was safe as houses
for months.

She won Brisbane this year, so she would have to defend those and get more
points or Wozniacki would have to lose points. Kvitova doesn't strike me as
someone who would feel comfortable at no. 1, so maybe I don't want her to get
there before the AO. She sounds confident here, though:
''I will be No. 2 and next season will be different, and I will be actually
favourite maybe all the time,'' Kvitova, 21, said after earning a $1.63 million
winner's cheque and second spot in the year-end rankings for her 7-5, 4-6, 6-3
defeat of Victoria Azarenka.

Yes, for the final preferably (if Kim can make it that far).
