Jelena Jankovic To Beome World #1
Jelena Jankovic of Serbia will become World #1 on Monday August 11 despite losing to Dominika Cibulkova at the Rogers Cup in Montreal. Svetlana Kuznetsova, who lost in the quarterfinals to Dinara Safina, also failed to clinch the top ranking, despite having won the 2004 US Open and appearing in the finals of the 2006 French Open and 2007 US Open. Current World #1 Ana Ivanovic will be exactly 8 points behind her Serbian compatriot. Maria Sharapova, winner of this year's Australian Open and #1 earlier this year has a shoulder injury and will miss the Beijing Olympics and the 2008 US Open.
