If I had to pick five I'd probably do the same ones, although JJ's spot ain't so secure. She "used to be" a fantastic clay courter. This year, she's yet to win a match against a top 10 player. Depending on how Madrid goes, I might even be inclined to put Serena in instead. Even with her leg injury. <br /><br />Pity Zvonareva's down with an injury, she would've probably taken the fifth spot instead of JJ otherwise.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
