Kuerten ends 2000 on a high
Brazil's Gustavo Kuerten has shrugged off a reputation as a clay-court specialist, winning the year end World Championship. Fittingly perhaps he has finished the year as the top ranked player. He certainly had to work for his achievement, beating 5 time winner Pete Sampras in the semis on one of the American's best surfaces. He went on to thrash Australian Open champion Andre Agassi in the final 6-4, 6-4, 6-4. This victory adds luster to the Brazilian's French Open title this year, and stamps him as a genuine threat at the Australian Open hard-courts.

Sampras' last stand?
Pete Sampras has once again failed to make it to the quarter-finals of a grand slam event. At the 2002 Australian Open he fell in 4 sets to eventual finalist Marat Safin. Now aged 30, Sampras faces an uphill battle to convince himself that he still has it in him to be a contender for grand slams. The mind is still there, but the body clearly is not.

Russian Routes Sampras
20 year old Marat Safin has inflicted Pete Sampras' worst ever grand slam defeat, smashing him in straight sets in the US Open final. The powerful Russian won 6-4, 6-3, 6-3 in an astonishing display which took only 98 minutes. This, coupled with Lleyton Hewitt's semi-final effort has surely heralded the arrival of the younger brigade; attempting to usurp the old guard of Sampras and Agassi.

Courier closes career
Jim Courier, a former number 1 has called the curtain on a career full of dramatic highs and lows. He was ranked number 1 back in 1992, a position which he held for 36 weeks. He won 4 grand slams, 2 each at the Australian and French Open and also reached the final of Wimbledon and the US Open. But he appeared to suffer from an early burn out, being caught reading at one point during a match at the end of 1993. After this he never reached another grand slam final. However, his rivalry with Pete Sampras in the early 1990's electrified the sport as they battled for the number 1 spot. Their match in the 1995 Australian Open was considered by many to have been one of the greatest in the sport. In tribute to Courier's retirement this week, this article will look over his turbulant career.

Hewitt Smashes Sampras
Australian Lleyton Hewitt has stunned the tennis world by claiming his first grand slam title, the US Open. He did it in some style, destroying Yevgeny Kafelnikov in a lacklustre semi-final, and then straight setting 4 time champion Pete Sampras in the final. Pete Sampras said that "I lost to a great champion. You're going to see this Lleyton Hewitt guy for the next 10 years like you saw me." At only 20 years of age, and already possessing 9 ATP titles; Hewitt does indeed look set to be a major contender in men's tennis for some time to come.
