Les Femmes Francais
As of this week, there is a Frenchwoman in the Top 5. There are two others in the Top 10. And two more in the Top 15. French tennis is certainly getting better and better with each passing year and may in fact be the team to beat in next year's Fed Cup competition. The depth was apparent two weeks ago in Linz when the semi finals featured four French women - the first time women of the same country had made up the semi finals of a tournament. #5 Mary Pierce, #7 Nathalie Tauziat, #9 Julie Halard-Decugis, #11 Amelie Mauresmo and #15 Sandrine Testud have all led the way for French tennis and look to continue that trend into the new millenium.

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.

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.

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!

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.

More cheers and no jeers for the "French" Mary Pierce
She had never been accepted as one of their own by the French crowds. In their hearts she was American, on paper she was French. By winning the French Open, she has instantly become accepted into the hearts of the French public, a public which decidedly stood behind their girl throughout the course of the whole tournament.

Venus Williams was so intent on winning Wimbledon, she bought her Wimbledon ball gown just days before leaving for England. Her long-time dream of winning Wimbledon became reality when she beat defending champion Lindsay Davenport in the final 6-3 7-6(3).

Final well fought, but eventually won by Davenport
Lindsay Davenport won her third Grand Slam singles title at the Australian Open last week. She did not drop a single set in her title run (as with her two other Grand Slam victories), which included a straight set demolition of Martina Hingis in the final. It may have looked easy for Davenport, but Hingis put up a brave fight at the very end, fighting back from 5-1 down to 5-5 in the second set before relinquishing the crown she has won for three straight years.

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.

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.

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.

Three weeks after reaching the pinnacle, it is being snatched away once again from the woman she usurped, in Jennifer Capriati.

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.

Venus Williams, thrilling 'em and killing 'em
Winning Wimbledon wasn't enough to stop Venus annihilating her opponents. Venus Williams has won two titles in as many weeks, taking the Bank of the West Classic in Stanford over Davenport and the Acura Classic in San Diego over Seles. The question is whether she can sustain this level up to the US Open. The bigger question is whether she can sustain this level to dominate the tour.

The great 1-2 punch
Fans were disappointed to see the final in Scottsdale rained out, especially since it featured the best two players in the world. Not too worry - they would match it up again in the final of Indian Wells two weeks later. It seems there is no stopping Martina Hingis and Lindsay Davenport this year. They have each amassed four finals appearances this year - three of those against each other - and it seems that their days as 1 & 2 are here to stay for a good, long time.

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.

Planets will align for Venus to become the biggest star
Venus is slowly but surely creeping up on Martina Hingis and Lindsay Davenport. She wants the top ranking and they know it. But can they stop her from pursuing her dream. In the long run, the prognosis does not look good for Hingis and Davenport. Williams cements her standing in women's tennis with an "effortless" victory in Zurich, while Nathalie Tauziat comes from the doldrums of tennis to record her biggest victory to date at Moscow.

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.
