DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) Caroline Wozniacki can reclaim the No. 1 ranking from Kim Clijsters by reaching the semifinals at the Dubai Championships.
Clijsters, who won the Australian Open last month, leads Wozniacki by 180 points in the rankings released Monday. But she is skipping this week's tournament, giving the Dane a chance to overtake her again.
Wozniacki says she never pays attention to the rankings and feels no difference whether she is No. 1 or No. 2. She says winning the tournament, which features eight of the top 10 players, is her main focus.
Beside Clijsters, sixth-ranked Venus Williams is also missing because of injury.
