Melanie to be in top 30 at the end of season 2010? I don't think so. Firstly, those young players as Melanie is, are having problems with being consistent trough the season. Second, she will have to defend majority of points at Wimbledon and US Open. If she slips there, her ranking could decrease heavily. Could gain some additional points at AO and Roland Garros and at those early tournaments but considering her current ranking, she will have tough draws at early stage no mather what. Even 1st round opponent should be difficult already. Hard to know what to expect during red-clay season but as it's known for Americans, they are just not competitive on this particular surface as on any others.



At the moment she is 477 points being 30th place. There's depth on WTA and as you could see there are Cibulkova, Kleybanova, Peer, Bondarenko's sister around 30th place. Justine Henin will also brake into top 30 from behind. I don't see Melanie being part of this group. Not yet. For coming into top 30 she will need to upgrade last season's results which doubt it will happen. She does have killer forhand and hard-die attitude but she will have to improve her own servis and to find constant form trough the season to beat my bet.



And of course you can never exclude injuries which could have impact on whole season.
