Roger Federer will probably win Wimbledon for a fourth straight year. His stoicism, though, makes me long for the days of Connors and McEnroe.

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....

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.

Pete Sampras has been able to turn around what had been a mediocre year for him, and is currently in top form. He has just won Queens, Wimbledon and now the Los Angeles tournaments in succession.

With Pat Rafter faultering in his title defence of Toronto, and with a winning record against Agassi; Sampras now looks to be the favourite for reclaiming his former US Open title.

Andre Agassi is the new US Open champion, and world number 1. Agassi won against veteran Todd Martin in a 5 set thriller, coming back from 2 sets to 1 down. The win has arguably confirmed him as the best player of 1999, with wins at the French and US Open's, as well as a finalist spot at Wimbledon. Agassi has now won 5 grand slams, and looks set to win more. But former world number 1 Jimmy Connors has questioned the notion that Agassi be considered one of the game's greats.

Swedish Greats to Meet
Bjorn Borg, Stefan Edberg and Mats Wilander were household names in tennis. The 3 greatest Swedish players ever combined to win 24 Grand Slam titles between them, all also achieving the world number 1 position. Bjorn dominated the late 1970's and early 1980's winning 5 consecutive Wimbledon crowns. Wilander hit his peak in the late 1980's, achieving the world number 1 ranking in 1989. Stefan Edberg was also dominant in the late 1980's and early 1990's. Unfortunately for tennis, the 3 now retired greats never met in the same tournament. This thursday in Stockholm, the 3 will meet in an exhibition match for the first and possibly last time.

Agassi makes history
Andre Agassi has come from nowhere to post a remarkable win at the French Open. This win has given him a career grand-slam; meaning that he has won once at each of the four grand-slams. To put this in perspective, the last player to achieve a career grand slam was Australian legend Rod Laver. The last American to do this was Don Budge in the 1930's.
