Williams has 12,375 points in the women’s rankings, and is almost 5,000 clear of second-placed Australian Open champion Li Na — who has 7,585. Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland is third on 5,980.
She retained a healthy lead despite an unfamiliar early exit in Charlestone last week, losing to unseeded Slovak Jana Cepelova at the clay-court event.
