Roland Garros and the potential shift in the rankings
It is hard to imagine anyone outside of the top six winning the Roland Garros championship. With that said, a number of interesting scenarios can occur at the top of the rankings given a few upsets here and a few triumphs there. Jennifer Capriati, the Williams sisters, Kim Clijsters, Justine Henin and Monica Seles comprise the top six seeds and the top six players in the world and will battle it out in grand style in one of the grandest tournaments of all

A Game with Losers and Winners When There Sometimes Shouldn't Be
The 2001 Roland Garros final featured a seasoned campaigner in Jennifer Capriati, who has been a professional tennis player for 12 years, versus Kim Clijsters, a relative rookie on the verge of becoming the next major champion. Many expected the experience of Capriati to dominate in the final, but many were surprised, and thrilled, with the way the final eventually played out. The end result may have been expected, but the process certainly was not.

Game, set, title Seles
As relentless as ever before, Monica Seles has picked up the level of her game in the last few months to be considered a serious contender for the French Open. Confirming her status with a dominating win at the Italian Open, she is the second choice of many as the favourite to win at Roland Garros this year after Hingis. Can Seles win Roland Garros for a fourth time in her career? It will be a difficult road, but from where she is standing, it is far from impossible.

More cheers and no jeers for the "French" Mary Pierce
She had never been accepted as one of their own by the French crowds. In their hearts she was American, on paper she was French. By winning the French Open, she has instantly become accepted into the hearts of the French public, a public which decidedly stood behind their girl throughout the course of the whole tournament.

Finally, justice is served
Since the 1999 indoor season, Lindsay Davenport has played like the #1 player in the world. But she wasn't #1. She won the Australian Open earlier this year to have two Grand Slams on her 52-week ranking. But she still wasn't #1. Finally, she gets her just fruits as she rises to the top ranking this week, despite losing (ironically) to the person she replaced at the top - Martina Hingis.

It's Not So Lonely at the Top
Martina Hingis may hold the #1 ranking but for how much longer is the question. There are more than a handful of competitors waiting to take down the Swiss Miss from the pole position and capture the ranking for themselves. Rivals such as Venus Williams, Lindsay Davenport, Jennifer Capriati, Monica Seles, Amelie Mauresmo and Serena Williams pose the nearest immediate threat to unseating Hingis in the future - can one succeed?

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.

Oldie but a goodie
In the short space of two weeks, two different players have attained the world #3 ranking in women's tennis. And neither of them happen to be the young-and-marketable group of Williams, Kournikova, Dokic, Clijsters or Lucic. No! 32 year old Nathalie Tauziat and 28 year old Conchita Martinez made their marks on two separate weeks as the best players in the world behind Hingis and Davenport. How well they can fight off the challenge of the youngsters will be a great interlude for the French Open in two weeks.

One down, three to go for Davenport
Lindsay had such a great hardcourt season last year, winning four titles, including the US Open. Can she repeat it again? Well, she's one step closer with the successful defence of her Bank of the West title in Stanford. Now, it's on to San Diego and Los Angeles where she has to pull out the magic again.

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.

Wait up....The clay court season hasn't finished yet!
We're back on clay for a little respite after a draining Wimbledon, a pressure-packed Fed Cup and a gruelling summer hardcourt season. Karina Habsudova won a tournament and reached a final the following week. Conchita Martinez proved she is still one of the best on clay by winning in Sopot. And an unknown 18 year old Russian claimed what one particular famous and glamorous 18 year old Russian has not claimed in her career - a tournament title!

However by winning his first Super-Nine title at the Monte Carlo open, Kuerten has established early favouritism to win again at Paris; and prove himself in the eyes of tennis fans and of his peers.

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.

Losing her way. Will she lose her will too?
Martina Hingis's loss this week at Filderstadt, the first tournament she won as a professional at the age of 16, will push her out of the Top 10 rankings for the first time in over six years. With her current slump in form, Martina has announced an indefinite break from the tour in order to recover from her injuries, retool her game, and regain her confidence. Will she return her to top form ever again?

Pierce on a high
In winning the tournament at Hilton Head, Mary Pierce broke Chris Evert's record of fewest games won en route to the Familcy Circle Cup. Indeed, Mary was invincible, notching up some comprehensive wins over Monica Seles and Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario. Call it premature, but she is ready for bigger and brighter things at Roland Garros this year.

Sampras and clay don't mix
Pete Sampras' career would be complete if he won this year's French Open. It's virtually the only thing that the former world number 1 has not achieved in his 14 years playing professional tennis. His form at the US Men's Clay Court Championship in Houston recently was encouraging, where he reached the final before falling to Andy Roddick. However, his loss demonstrated that even in smaller clay court tournaments Sampras struggles, let alone a Grand Slam. Certainly, this year could be his last chance at the French Open, if he has one at all.
