Serena Williams Ranking Crash Following Wimbledon 2011 Exit

Serena Williams (credit: Wikipedia.org)
Serena Williams entered Wimbledon ranked 25th - she'll be nowhere near that ranking when Monday's update comes around.

Serena Williams was the defending champion at Wimbledon 2011 however her dreams of the fifth title at the All England Club this week ended on Monday when Marion Bartoli converted her fifth match point opportunity against the former world number one.

For making the fourth round of Wimbledon 2011, Williams will only receive 280 ranking points a net loss of 1,720 when compared to the 2000 she received last season.

When July 4th comes around and the rankings update with Wimbledon results factored in, Williams will only have ranking points from two tournaments: Wimbledon and Eastbourne. She will have a grand total of 340 ranking points and if applied to the current rankings she would be in 174th spot, which is about where she should be ranked on Monday.

With literally no ranking points to defend in the near future she promises to get back into the top 50 in almost no time and depending on how she does in the lead-up to the US Open, the former world number one will probably be ranked high enough for a seeding at the last Grand Slam of the calendar year.
