...now that Ivanovic has beaten Dechy, what does she have to do to hit the top 30 and how much time does she have to do it in before she has significant points to defend?

Nemanja noted Gifu and Fukuoka -- the former coming off this week, so it's figured into the rankings already; the latter (56 points) comes off next week.
With the win today, she's up to (almost guaranteed) #34. If she does nothing more here or at Berlin or Warsaw, she will probably be #35, give or take a spot or two, when they seed Roland Garros. If she can make the final here, or reach about the quarterfinal at either Tier I event, she should get a Roland Garros seed. Top 30 is a little harder; there is a fairly big gap there. Probably need a SF at one of the Tier I events, or a title here. At least if she is to stay there after Fukuoka comes off.
