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. steffi graf • monica seles • jana novotna • mary pierce • anna kournikova
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. martina hingis • lindsay davenport • venus williams • serena williams • monica seles

Saying goodbye again First it was Steffi Graf. Now Jana Novotna has taken up retirement.

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. martina hingis • lindsay davenport • media • venus wiliams • serena williams

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. serena williams • venus williams • us open • flushing meadows • wta

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.

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.
