Australian Open 2000
Australian Open 2000 is underway. A fortnight of intrigue, excitement, disappointment and nail-biting is to come our way. Who will win? Hingis? Davenport? Williams? Pierce? Maybe even Capriati?

Venus Williams for the French Open title? Quite likely indeed...
Venus Williams has been on a tear for the past two weeks, having won titles in Hamburg and Rome. Mary Pierce can attest to that, having lost to her in the finals both times.

A New Grand Slam Champion
It had long been said that Williams would win a Grand Slam title, it was only a question of time. But it wasn't the Williams girl everybody thought it would be in the end. It was the younger sister Serena, the "one with the muscles", who was triumphant in the end. After staring defeat straight in the eye in the third round, Serena pulled off three straight three-set matches to reach her first major final - and pulled off an upset to capture her first Grand Slam championship at the US Open.

Tearing herself to Pierces
Mary Pierce is one of the biggest drawcards in tennis today. But will she ever be able to translate her popularity in the form of Grand Slam titles and the #1 ranking?

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.

Show them who's Number 1
She may be the the #1 player on the computer but observers and players may think otherwise. Nevertheless, with the Williams sisters stealing her thunder this year, Hingis regained a much-needed confidence boost by winning back-to-back singles, AND doubles, titles in Filderstadt and Zurich. Along the way, she beat Lindsay Davenport in the Zurich title match 6-4 4-6 7-5, one of the best matches of the season to date.

Steffi Graf has done it again! 22 Grand Slam victories and 6 French Open titles to her name, Steffi knew she had nothing to prove coming into this tournament, but alas! She has reconfirmed her case for being remembered as the all-time greatest player in the history of women's tennis!

Wait up....The clay court season hasn't finished yet!
We're back on clay for a little respite after a draining Wimbledon, a pressure-packed Fed Cup and a gruelling summer hardcourt season. Karina Habsudova won a tournament and reached a final the following week. Conchita Martinez proved she is still one of the best on clay by winning in Sopot. And an unknown 18 year old Russian claimed what one particular famous and glamorous 18 year old Russian has not claimed in her career - a tournament title!

Saying goodbye again
First it was Steffi Graf. Now Jana Novotna has taken up retirement. Playing in what was most likely the last tournament of her career in Filderstadt, Jana ended her long and arduous career with a first round loss to Silvia Farina. Serena Williams dominates the Grand Slam Cup and feels she's accomplished all she needs to in women's tennis - she now wants to play the men! We kid you not...

The Unheralded Number 1
Lindsay Davenport was certainly not the first pick by many to win Wimbledon this year. Her mediocre record at the grass court major spoke for itself. However, her fortunes changed for the better as she won Wimbledon for her second career Grand Slam singles title, and in the process, regained the world #1 ranking. All this success for a normal, quiet girl who barely causes a ripple with the press....

Lindsay Davenport in clear contention for the Open

Back to reality after the Olympics
For two weeks we had non-stop, high energy, crowd pleasing sport on television. Much to the disagreement of some purists, tennis was one of those sports we followed during the Olympic games. While the event is opened to professionals, many of the top players declined to participate, but that did not stop #3 Venus Williams or #5 Monica Seles from winning medals for the US team. Now that the Olympics are over, the players will prepare for the indoor season and attempt to gain the last places in the season-ending Chase Championships. It is non-stop tennis action throughout all parts of the globe.
