THIS WEEK: Running late again, as were the WTA with their rankings on the website. I'm a professional sportswriter and sports analyst in my day job now, which paradoxically leaves me with less time to do this commentary.

Anyway, Jennifer Capriati's win in Quebec makes her mover of the week, up from 22 to an amazing 11th (WTA #30 -> #26). If Quebec quarter-finalist Justine Henin was qualified, however, she would take 11th from Capriati.
