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.

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?

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.

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.
