The Fraternity Among Hitch-hikers
Hitch-hiker's are usually pretty independent, or solitary beasts. They frown when another hitcheer or two turns up to compete for rides, and crowds don't travel as well as loners or pairs. But there is something all the same, that makes them mighty glad to see one another much of the time. A certain fraternity. Here's what reminded me so strongly of it.

Ranking system problems
Yevgeney Kafelnikov recently achieved the world number 1 ranking, despite being on a 6 match losing streak. He was able to do this because of the nature of the current ATP rankings system, which required Pete Sampras to defend a certain amount of points he had gained in 1998. This situation, along with Marcelo Rios' rise to the top ranking without a grand slam title to his name; has shown up the current rankings system as being badly inadequate.

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.
