Could Halep overtake #1 ranking if she wins the FO?

Serena will lose a lot of points, if Simona wins the FO, she could give her a run for her money! Could someone clarify this for me?!!

No. Serena's 6,000 points clear of Halep right now. Even Li Na is more than 2,000 points clear of Halep and isn't losing many points. The highest Halep could go is #3. She would take over the lead for 2014, but we obviously have a long way to go this year.

If Halep won the French, she'd still be more than 2000 points behind Serena's #1 ranking.

Halep would have to make the Final to take over the #3 ranking, and it is impossible for her to take over the #2 ranking even if she were to win it.

And technically, as of this moment, when rankings come out next week, Serena will be a bout 9,600 points. Halep is currently right around 5,350 and could go to a maximum of about 7,100 if she were to take the French.

Come on, hold on. This girl is not even to the semi-finals and finals and we are claiming hypothetical about her winning and taking over the # 1 ranking?
