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....

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!

Victorian Themes in Tennessee Williams' Plays (Part One of Two)
Along with Arthur Miller, Tennessee Williams is commonly held to be one of the greatest American playwrights of the MODERN age. In many respects, however, I believe that his work subscribes to a Victorian, pre-modernist tradition, which I have attempted to evoke here.

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. 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...

Seles is back, again!
Monica Seles has returned to familiar territory by winning her 45th career singles title in Oklahoma City last week. She has been in the throws of "comebackhood" for much of her career - let's hope that this one is the bonafide comeback which can take her all the way back to #1.

Steffi Graf is a living legend. And she is saying goodbye to the sport she has loved for so long.

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.
