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.

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.

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.

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....

1999: the 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.

A Tribute To A Living Legend
Steffi Graf is a living legend. And she is saying goodbye to the sport she has loved for so long. We pay tribute to the champion who gave so much to tennis, who redefined the meaning of class and professionalism in sport today, and who has accomplished absolutely everything there is to accomplish in her field. Steffi Graf – the ultimate champion.

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.

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.

Venus Williams has finally justified the claimas as the "world's best player" and has attained the #1 ranking. Three weeks after reaching the pinnacle, it is being snatched away once again from the woman she usurped, in Jennifer Capriati.

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.

Lindsay had such a great hardcourt season last year, winning four titles, including the US Open. Can she repeat it again?

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.

Predictions for 1999
What is in store for 1999? Who knows, but here is a report, amateur as it may be, on what could very well happen in the coming season on the WTA circuit. Could it be a two-way battle for supremacy between Davenport and Hingis, or could Graf, Seles or Williams pave the way for a five-way battle? Also here is what could happen to the current Top 10 next year, my own predictions for the 1999 Top 20 season end rankings and the winners of the Grand Slams next year.

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.
