Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario, winner again on the European clay
Sanchez-Vicario started off the 1999 season very shakily, with a 2-4 win-loss match record in hand. She may have regained her winning ways in Cairo this fortnight, and found some much needed confidence one month before the defence of her French Open trophy.

Q&A Time
Forget statistics and results from the past season – you can get those from any other tennis website. What will be presented to you in this fortnight’s article is a series of questions and answers on just about anything to do with the sport of women’s tennis. Most answers are going to be highly opinionated (ie. my opinions) so if you completely disagree, feel free to post a note in the discussions section.

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.

New balls in the women's game
The ATP may have the New Balls campaign but the WTA deserve a campaign just the same. The number of youngsters on the rise is increasing and many are on the cusp of entering the zone of the elites in tennis. Perhaps they are ready to take the tour into their hands and overtake the veterans who revolutionised the tour in the late 1980's and through the 1990's

The season finale looms and the drama continues to unfold. With exciting Top 10 teens such as Serena Williams, Justine Henin, Kim Clijsters and Jelena Dokic in the picture, there are bound to be some exciting matches throughout the week.

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!

New season, new beginning
The new season has started off with a bang. Fortunately for tennis fans, the season looks set to continue in the same fashion.

Kournikova: conquering or crashing?
Is Kournikova merely a body of style and elegance, or is there actually some substance beneath her beauty? Many believe that Kournikova doesn't possess the game to match her image. It may not seem like it now, but if one observes Anna and just how much talent she actually possesses, one wonders why she hasn't done herself justice.

Fall to the ground, and rise sky high
Monica has had her fair share of problems in her career. But one thing she has been renowned for is her ability to overcome her problems and get on with the job. After her 6-0 6-0 drubbing at the hands of Martina Hingis, Monica has come back with full force and intensity to win her second title of the year at Amelia Island. Unstoppable for the rest of the claycourt season? That we can only hope.

New names, old faces - the WTA is having the time of its life
Consider Kim Clijsters, Jelena Dokic, Justine Henin, Lina Krasnoroutskaya, Amelie Mauresmo, Monique Viele, Serena Williams, Venus Williams - young players who have shown their great potential this past fornight. Consider Amanda Coetzer, Linsay Davenport, Julie Halard-Decugis, Magdalena Maleeva, Conchita Martinez, Jana Novotna, Monica Seles - veteran players who showed they still have a lot of fight this past fortnight. Add the veterans and the youngsters together and you've got a great recipe for a healthy and thriving WTA tour. Check out the results of the tournaments in Luxembourg and Tokyo and don't forget about the prestigious Fed Cup title either.

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.

Female Highwaymen
We think travelling by British Rail is hazardous, but compare it with the stagecoach traveller of yore. Okay, the journey times were similar, but there was every chance that a gun-toting woman “dressed in man’s attire” would relieve you of your possessions. Judging by the number of songs, there were either an awful lot of these ladies of the road, or else the exploits of one or two really captured the public’s imagination.

Planets will align for Venus to become the biggest star
Venus is slowly but surely creeping up on Martina Hingis and Lindsay Davenport. She wants the top ranking and they know it. But can they stop her from pursuing her dream. In the long run, the prognosis does not look good for Hingis and Davenport. Williams cements her standing in women's tennis with an "effortless" victory in Zurich, while Nathalie Tauziat comes from the doldrums of tennis to record her biggest victory to date at Moscow.
