Apart from the top 4 tournaments performance at the rest of the satellite round ups does matter in the ultimate ATP rankings

mostly tier 2 or tier 3 imran - those mickey mouse tournaments - tier 3 at least
it'll take time til she can hang with the big girls she's a little too erratic, tries to hit her way out of trouble and that's bad although she did beat us open champ svetlana kuznetsova and this russian girl kuznetva sucked though this year |
