I'm not admirer of long term bets, but this one deserves to be taken. It's about Ayumi Morita and her final ranking end in forcoming season. Nordic is offering 50.5 position and i hardly see Japanese player higher than offering line. Currently she is at 139th place with 254 points (319 points behind 50th ranked Karin Knapp) and coming inside top 100th is in her range but going further? Well i don't believe. She will need some extraordinary results on WTA level to come inside 50 which i doubt it will happen. I just don't believe she is so good. She won few ITF tournaments but i don't believe she belongs to group of girls which can make breaktrough on top level; not yet. Around 50th position you have players like Knapp, Cibulkova, Vesnina .... Davenport. I just don't see Ayumi in this range. In general i believe she can and will come inside 100 but not into top 50. Just can't imagine covering such a gap between 50th and 139th position in a year. I suppose those first 50th players shouldn't have such a problem with defending their own points while Ayumi will need some good runs on highest ranked tier tournaments (don't believe she will be part of them - her ranking is too low currently) to close a gap, especially on grandslams. According to her latest results i seriously doubt it can happens. And just for comparation: Tamira Paszek made big jump this year and ended as a 41 - tennis player on the list. I just can't imagine Morita can achive such a results on WTA level as Tamira did. Lower than 50,5 position ... that's my pick.

WTA Ranking End of 2008 (Ayumi Morita); pick lower than 50,5 (1.90 @ Nordicbet) 10 units
