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.

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.

A Tribute To A Living Legend
Steffi Graf is a living legend. And she is saying goodbye to the sport she has loved for so long.

Steffi Graf – the ultimate champion.

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.

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...

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!

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....
