Justine Officially Qualifies For Madrid 2007 02/08/2007: Tennis queen Justine's majestic tennis season has got even better, she's #1 on the Sony Race to Madrid, and has become yet again, the first player to qualify in the star filled exclusive round robin 8 event. Justine will defend her Sony Ericsson Championships trophy in Madrid from November 6-11. "I have excellent memories of playing in Madrid last year and winning the Sony Ericsson Championships. The title meant a lot to me as I hadn't played since the US Open. I was unsure of how I would do, yet I wound up beating the Top 2 players Mauresmo and Sharapova to finish the year No.1. I am proud of the fact that for the second year in a row, I am the first to qualify for the Sony Ericsson Championships as one of the elite eight singles players and can't wait to go back there and be a part of that special atmosphere." - Justine The WTA tour were proud to announce today that Justine and Jelena Jankovic officially qualify for the Sony Ericsson Championships. The Belgian tennis icon has accrued 3245 point and #1 on the regular WTA world rankings. Jelena has earned 2990 points and 559 points ahead of third place Ana Ivanovic (2431). Justine also leads the WTA Tour with five singles titles already claimed in 2007. This will be the seventh year in a row she has qualified for the prestigious year-ending event, and third year in a row to be crowned Roland Garros queen. "I am thrilled that both Justine and Jelena have already qualified for the Sony Ericsson Championships in Madrid," said Spanish tennis legend and Sony Ericsson Championships tournament director Manolo Santana. "Justine and Jelena have had great seasons so far and really deserve to be in Madrid. Having the best eight players of the year in Madrid is a great opportunity for tennis fans in Spain and in Europe. I am sure that the coming weeks will reveal some more stars of the Tour who will be joining these two players at the Championships."
