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.

Chasing Elena
The Chase semi finalists have been decided: Kournikova, Hingis and Seles need no introductions as three of the biggest stars on the WTA tour. The fourth semi finalist, Elena Dementieva, is not nearly as high-profile but based on recent results and some huge scalps (including Lindsay Davenport this week), she is destined to be right up there with them.

The ATP may have the New Balls campaign but the WTA deserve a campaign just the same. The number of youngsters on the rise is increasing and many are on the cusp of entering the zone of the elites in tennis.

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.

A Game with Losers and Winners When There Sometimes Shouldn't Be
The 2001 Roland Garros final featured a seasoned campaigner in Jennifer Capriati, who has been a professional tennis player for 12 years, versus Kim Clijsters, a relative rookie on the verge of becoming the next major champion. Many expected the experience of Capriati to dominate in the final, but many were surprised, and thrilled, with the way the final eventually played out. The end result may have been expected, but the process certainly was not.

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.

Martina Hingis may hold the #1 ranking but for how much longer is the question. There are more than a handful of competitors waiting to take down the Swiss Miss from the pole position and capture the ranking for themselves. Rivals such as Venus Williams, Lindsay Davenport, Jennifer Capriati, Monica Seles, Amelie Mauresmo and Serena Williams pose the nearest immediate threat to unseating Hingis in the future - can one succeed?

Losing her way. Will she lose her will too?
Martina Hingis's loss this week at Filderstadt, the first tournament she won as a professional at the age of 16, will push her out of the Top 10 rankings for the first time in over six years. With her current slump in form, Martina has announced an indefinite break from the tour in order to recover from her injuries, retool her game, and regain her confidence. Will she return her to top form ever again?

Martina Hingis won her third straight indoor tournament at Moscow, demolishing hometown favourite Anna Kournikova in the final, and in the process extended her winning streak to 12 matches.

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.

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.

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.

Pierce on a high
In winning the tournament at Hilton Head, Mary Pierce broke Chris Evert's record of fewest games won en route to the Familcy Circle Cup. Indeed, Mary was invincible, notching up some comprehensive wins over Monica Seles and Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario. Call it premature, but she is ready for bigger and brighter things at Roland Garros this year.

1999: Year in review
1999 has seen some amazing highs coupled with some disappointing lows. However, the tennis has always been of the highest calibre, and 1999 has cemented Hingis, Davenport and the Williamses as the four who will lead the WTA tour into the next millenium. This year, we also paid tribute to Steffi Graf, the legend who won the French Open this year in remarkable fashion and also retired in the middle of the season.

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....

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....

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.

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.

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.

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...
