Kournikova: conquering or crashing? Is Kournikova merely a body of style and elegance, or is there actually some substance beneath her beauty?

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. martina hingis • lindsay davenport • serena williams • venus williams • mary pierce

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

Martina Hingis, Lindsay Davenport, Conchita Martinez and Jennifer Capriati are the last four to fight for the Australian Open championship, the first Grand Slam of the new millenium martina hingis • lindsay davenport • monica seles • conchita martinez • jennifer capriati
Tis the season for Davenport to be jolly She was at a point where she considered calling it quits for the rest of the year. But Lindsay Davenport listened to her coach and not to herself, and ended up winning back-to-back titles to finish the year. Among her many titles this season, she included her first season ending Chase Championships title to her impressive 1999 resume, defeating world #1 Martina Hingis in the title match. martina hingis • lindsay davenport • monica seles • venus williams • serena williams
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. martina hingis • lindsay davenport • tennis rivalry • rivalry • rival
