Davis Cup in need of revamp
The 2 top rated Davis Cup teams the USA and defending champions Australia struggled home to 3-2 victories over Zimbabwe and Switzerland respectively. The Australian team had only won the title back in December when they routed an overmatched French team by 4-1. Earlier this month they came within 1 set of losing in the first round of this year's competition against the Swiss. This situation is unsatisfactory, and also provides little motivation for the top players after having to put in so much effort towards the Davis Cup in the previous year. The Davis Cup needs a revamp if it's to remain relevant and interesting to the viewing public.

Could Sampras' career be over?
Pete Sampras has dominated men's tennis in the 1990's. He finished the season with the year end number 1 ranking for a record 6 years straight. He has won 12 grand slams in his career, which equals the world record of Roy Emerson who also won 12. In 1999 he has missed 2 out of the 4 grand slam tournaments played, the Australian Open as a result of mental fatigue; and the US Open as a result of injury. This week the American has been forced to pull out of his attempted comeback at the Paris Open after sustaining yet another injury. Despite winning Wimbledon in July, at 28 years of age the warning signs are ominous for the current world number 3.
