However, Mandy Minella, who has also returned to the tour after delivering her first child in 2017, thinks differently.
'The rule should stay as it is,' Minella said, per BBC. 'I don't think we would be talking about this if it wasn't Serena. There are many players who have been out because of pregnancy and there will be many more.
It's not that we are punished for being pregnant.' She also added, 'For entertainment reasons, it's very important to have Serena Williams in the draw, but I don't think it's important to have her in the seeding positions at the moment.
She's so good that she will get back to the top, so the rule should stay as it is. If seeded now, she would take away the spot of another girl who had fought all year to have a seeding, so it's a tricky situation.' <<

tbf, mandy's logic is stupid. not seeding serena hurts the #30 girl who gets stuck with her in the first round. |
