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. However, her fortunes changed for the better as she won Wimbledon for her second career Grand Slam singles title, and in the process, regained the world #1 ranking. All this success for a normal, quiet girl who barely causes a ripple with the press....

First week fanfare at the French Open
Who would have thought only eight seeds would remain come the fourth round? Who would have thought the Williams sisters would not go into week 2 of the Grand Slam? Who would have thought Capriati could find success again on a tennis court? Who would have thought the Spanish armada would rejuvenate their careers at the French Open? Who would have thought Barbara Schwartz (who??) would be a quarter finals contender? All the first week fanfare at the French in this article

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. Serena Williams dominates the Grand Slam Cup and feels she's accomplished all she needs to in women's tennis - she now wants to play the men! We kid you not...

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
