Lindsay Davenport in clear contention for the Open


all the points at the US Open? Mirjana Lucic (CRO). When is she going to start playing the tennis everyone expects of her? Jennifer Capriati (USA). She's back in the Top 100 this week and she's hoping to stay there this time. Can she go on to bigger and better things or will she just fall out of the Top 100 again? Iva Majoli (CRO). Couldn't she handle the pressure of being a Grand Slam champion? She has just completely collapsed since the 1997 French win, becoming the first person to beat Martina Hingis as the no. 1 player of the world. Irina Spirlea (ROM). Somehow, I don't think she's going to stay in the Top 10 after the US Open. She reached the semis of the US Open last year (who could forget THAT match against Venus Williams?!?!) and I don't think she can adequately defend those points given her dismal showings this past fortnight (loss to Joanette Kruger in the first round at Toshiba Classic and second round loss at Acura Classic to Elena Tatarkova). Martina Hingis (SUI). She's lost to Pierce, lost to Davenport - will she be no. 1 when all is said and done?
