Kournikova a major contender; victories for her doubles partners
Kournikova has proven herself in the elite of women's tennis by reaching the final of Hilton Head and the semi finals of Amelia Island. Only her recent doubles partners were more successful when Martina Hingis won the Family Circle Cup (Hilton Head) and Monica Seles won the Bausch & Lomb Championships (Amelia Island)

Fall to the ground, and rise sky high
Monica has had her fair share of problems in her career. But one thing she has been renowned for is her ability to overcome her problems and get on with the job. After her 6-0 6-0 drubbing at the hands of Martina Hingis, Monica has come back with full force and intensity to win her second title of the year at Amelia Island. Unstoppable for the rest of the claycourt season? That we can only hope.

The Alternative to Hotels and Motels

Oldie but a goodie
In the short space of two weeks, two different players have attained the world #3 ranking in women's tennis. And neither of them happen to be the young-and-marketable group of Williams, Kournikova, Dokic, Clijsters or Lucic. No! 32 year old Nathalie Tauziat and 28 year old Conchita Martinez made their marks on two separate weeks as the best players in the world behind Hingis and Davenport. How well they can fight off the challenge of the youngsters will be a great interlude for the French Open in two weeks.

Finally, justice is served
Since the 1999 indoor season, Lindsay Davenport has played like the #1 player in the world. But she wasn't #1. She won the Australian Open earlier this year to have two Grand Slams on her 52-week ranking. But she still wasn't #1. Finally, she gets her just fruits as she rises to the top ranking this week, despite losing (ironically) to the person she replaced at the top - Martina Hingis.

Pierce on a high
In winning the tournament at Hilton Head, Mary Pierce broke Chris Evert's record of fewest games won en route to the Familcy Circle Cup. Indeed, Mary was invincible, notching up some comprehensive wins over Monica Seles and Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario. Call it premature, but she is ready for bigger and brighter things at Roland Garros this year.

Q&A Time
Forget statistics and results from the past season – you can get those from any other tennis website. What will be presented to you in this fortnight’s article is a series of questions and answers on just about anything to do with the sport of women’s tennis. Most answers are going to be highly opinionated (ie. my opinions) so if you completely disagree, feel free to post a note in the discussions section.

Game, set, title Seles
As relentless as ever before, Monica Seles has picked up the level of her game in the last few months to be considered a serious contender for the French Open. Confirming her status with a dominating win at the Italian Open, she is the second choice of many as the favourite to win at Roland Garros this year after Hingis. Can Seles win Roland Garros for a fourth time in her career? It will be a difficult road, but from where she is standing, it is far from impossible.

Looking into the crystal ball
After New Haven, it's New York. The best tennis players in the world will be strutting their stuff and going for glory at the US Open in Flushing Meadows this year. Will it be an all Williams domination? Can Davenport and Hingis reassert themselves as the premier duo of tennis? Can Seles overcome the mental hurdles to beat the best? Will Pierce be match tough enough to conquer New York? Will Kournikova stay longer than the first week? Who will be the surprise package in this year's US Open? Who knows the answers to all of these questions? Certainly not I! Sit back and enjoy the two weeks of fine tennis coming your way.

Out of this world
Venus Williams is playing out of her mind, out of sight, out of this world! Describe it in any way you like but the message is clear - she is ready to be a dominating force in women's tennis. She impressively accumulated victories over Martina Hingis and Lindsay Davenport to claim her second grand slam singles title at the US Open, and is looking to extend her 26 match winning streak at the upcoming Sydney Olympic Games. ,Venus Williams is playing out of her mind, out of sight, out of this world!

Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario, winner again on the European clay
Sanchez-Vicario started off the 1999 season very shakily, with a 2-4 win-loss match record in hand. She may have regained her winning ways in Cairo this fortnight, and found some much needed confidence one month before the defence of her French Open trophy.

Kournikova: conquering or crashing?
Is Kournikova merely a body of style and elegance, or is there actually some substance beneath her beauty? Many believe that Kournikova doesn't possess the game to match her image. It may not seem like it now, but if one observes Anna and just how much talent she actually possesses, one wonders why she hasn't done herself justice.

First week fanfare at the French Open
Who would have thought only eight seeds would remain come the fourth round? Who would have thought the Williams sisters would not go into week 2 of the Grand Slam? Who would have thought Capriati could find success again on a tennis court? Who would have thought the Spanish armada would rejuvenate their careers at the French Open? Who would have thought Barbara Schwartz (who??) would be a quarter finals contender? All the first week fanfare at the French in this article

It's Not So Lonely at the Top
Martina Hingis may hold the #1 ranking but for how much longer is the question. There are more than a handful of competitors waiting to take down the Swiss Miss from the pole position and capture the ranking for themselves. Rivals such as Venus Williams, Lindsay Davenport, Jennifer Capriati, Monica Seles, Amelie Mauresmo and Serena Williams pose the nearest immediate threat to unseating Hingis in the future - can one succeed?

Chasing Elena
The Chase semi finalists have been decided: Kournikova, Hingis and Seles need no introductions as three of the biggest stars on the WTA tour. The fourth semi finalist, Elena Dementieva, is not nearly as high-profile but based on recent results and some huge scalps (including Lindsay Davenport this week), she is destined to be right up there with them.

Seles is back, again!
Monica Seles has returned to familiar territory by winning her 45th career singles title in Oklahoma City last week. She has been in the throws of "comebackhood" for much of her career - let's hope that this one is the bonafide comeback which can take her all the way back to #1.

One down, three to go for Davenport
Lindsay had such a great hardcourt season last year, winning four titles, including the US Open. Can she repeat it again? Well, she's one step closer with the successful defence of her Bank of the West title in Stanford. Now, it's on to San Diego and Los Angeles where she has to pull out the magic again.

Predictions for 1999
What is in store for 1999? Who knows, but here is a report, amateur as it may be, on what could very well happen in the coming season on the WTA circuit. Could it be a two-way battle for supremacy between Davenport and Hingis, or could Graf, Seles or Williams pave the way for a five-way battle? Also here is what could happen to the current Top 10 next year, my own predictions for the 1999 Top 20 season end rankings and the winners of the Grand Slams next year.
