WTA to get new No. 1: Sharapova will lose #1 ranking after French Open

"Boo hoo." That was Maria Sharapova's response when she was asked if she was worried about losing the No. 1 ranking as a consequence of her loss to Dinara Safina. Masha may not care she'll slip in the rankings, but Ana Ivanovic, Jelena Jankovic, or Svetlana Kuznetsova are probably thrilled to know they each have a chance to ascend to the top of the rankings next week. I'd love to see a Kuznetsova vs. Ivanovic final, for the French Open glory AND No. 1 ranking. Sveta needs another major desperately, and Ana needs a breakthrough win. Becoming No. 1 would be gravy. And well deserved.

Dinara Safina d. Svetlana Kuznetsova to advance to the 2008 women's championship match at the French Open. The Kooz's semifinal loss should assure that either Ivanovic or Jankovic become the new No. 1.

The ESPN commentators confirmed that Ana Ivanovic is the new No. 1.
