Rafter's Resurgence Patrick Rafter has emerged from a 5 month form slump to reach the final of the Super Nine event in Rome. Along the way he defeated Andre Agassi and clay-court expert Felix Mantilla, and came within just 1 match win of the world number 1 position. The following week, Rafter helped the Australian team win the World Team Cup, highlighted by singles wins over Pete Sampras and Thomas Enqvist. All of this on clay, supposedly Rafter's least favourite surface! This article will look at Rafter's resurgence, and examine the question of whether he has what it takes to be a worthy successor to Pete Sampras as a genuine world number 1. rafter • world number 1 • sampras • courier • chang
Rafter clinches no. 1 After spending much of the past 18 months as the world number 2, Pat Rafter has finally clinched the world number 1 spot in men's tennis. He has become the 18th player to rank number 1 since the inception of world rankings in 1973. The last Australian to rank so highly was John Newcombe a quarter of a century ago. It is a fitting reward for Rafter, currently the 2-time US Open champion. The question now is whether or not he has the mental toughness to retain this lofty position. rafter • sampras • agassi • tennis • men's
Rafter in Doubt for US Open Pat Rafter is now in doubt for the US Open after aggravating a shoulder injury during the recent Indianapolis event. His absence would be a great shame for the sport, as it would end his chances of winning the US Open for an extraordinary 3 consecutive years. It would also remove Rafter from the equation in what has become an intriguing battle for the top spot and hard-court supremacy between himself, Pete Sampras, Andre Agassi and Yevgeny Kafelnikov. rafter • sampras • agassi • kafelnikov • tennis
Injuries a worrying trend for men's tennis Pat Rafter is out for what will likely be the rest of the year on the ATP Tour, as a result of his shoulder injury failing to heal. He will now miss out on a chance to represent Australia in the Davis Cup final against France in December. The injuries which are currently plaguing the ATP tour is a worry for men's tennis. injury • atp tour • pete sampras • pat rafter • results
Injuries Hit the US Open as Agassi Heads the Field This year's US Open has so far been more notable for who hasn't been in it than who has. The first round brought the shock news of Pete Sampras' withdrawal from the event before a ball had been hit. Pat Rafter's attempt to win a history-making three-peat at the US Open ended in frustration with a default with injury. The main story for the US Open now is who will win out of hot favourite Andre Agassi, and this year's Australian Open champion Yevgeny Kafelnikov. Both have been ranked number 1 this year, and both will be keen to add to their tally of having won 1 grand slam in 1999. kafelnikov • agassi • rafter • sampras
Sampras back on track Pete Sampras has shrugged off his poor form this year to win the event at Queens in London. This is the biggest grass-court tournament in the lead up to Wimbledon, and serves as a good form guide for it. With a record equalling 12th grand-slam title within reach, Sampras will be desperate to continue his winning form at Wimbledon. pete sampras • queens • wimbledon • lleyton hewitt • tim henman
Sampras in top form for US Open Pete Sampras has been able to turn around what had been a mediocre year for him, and is currently in top form. He has just won Queens, Wimbledon and now the Los Angeles tournaments in succession. At the time of writing Sampras is on an 18 match winning streak in singles, which is the 4th best streak of his career. With Pat Rafter faultering in his title defence of Toronto, and with a winning record against Agassi; Sampras now looks to be the favourite for reclaiming his former US Open title. sampras • rafter • agassi • us open • tournaments
Sampras ties Emerson Pete Sampras has claimed his 6th Wimbledon title, and in doing so tied former great Roy Emerson for the most number of grand slams ever won. Sampras beat Andre Agassi in an exciting final, though in straight sets. Sampras now holds 12 grand slam titles, and has an excellent chance to surpass Emerson's record over the next 3 or so years. sampras • rafter • agassi • philipoussis • henman

Agassi on top, but is he a tennis great? Andre Agassi is the new US Open champion, and world number 1. Agassi won against veteran Todd Martin in a 5 set thriller, coming back from 2 sets to 1 down. The win has arguably confirmed him as the best player of 1999, with wins at the French and US Open's, as well as a finalist spot at Wimbledon. Agassi has now won 5 grand slams, and looks set to win more.
