does this count towards the WTA rankings? like will she get points for this

[BBOMB567]

no cos it was an exhibition sp it dont count for anything

[tennismon]

ok. also, does like everyones points get reset to zero? or they pick up were they left off?

[yadchazaka]

you start off with the points you had from last year (basically, you go into a new season with all the points you compiled from the year before.) then what happens is you have to defend all those points. So if you don't make it as far in a tournament the next year, you basically lose points.

ohhhh okkkk, see i never really understood how it worked, i knew they defended points but i wasn't totaly sure on everything.thanks!!, and GOOD LUCK SHARAPOVA!!

add one more thing: there is a difference between your ranking and the race...for example...last year serena entered the aussie open as 81 in the world. after winning she became 14 in the world. that was her ranking. her position in that years race, at that point after her win, was 1. (grand slams are worth 1000 points)
