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. martina hingis • monica seles • lindsay davenport • venus williams • serena williams
