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.

Saying goodbye again
First it was Steffi Graf. Now Jana Novotna has taken up retirement. Playing in what was most likely the last tournament of her career in Filderstadt, Jana ended her long and arduous career with a first round loss to Silvia Farina.

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!

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.

The Unheralded Number 1
Lindsay Davenport was certainly not the first pick by many to win Wimbledon this year. Her mediocre record at the grass court major spoke for itself.

All this success for a normal, quiet girl who barely causes a ripple with the press....

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. While the event is opened to professionals, many of the top players declined to participate, but that did not stop #3 Venus Williams or #5 Monica Seles from winning medals for the US team. 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. It is non-stop tennis action throughout all parts of the globe.

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.
