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.

Chasing Elena
The Chase semi finalists have been decided: Kournikova, Hingis and Seles need no introductions as three of the biggest stars on the WTA tour. The fourth semi finalist, Elena Dementieva, is not nearly as high-profile but based on recent results and some huge scalps (including Lindsay Davenport this week), she is destined to be right up there with them.

Fairytales do come true
The fairy tale came true. After years of trying to withstand the pressure of playing world class tennis, to succumbing to those pressures and to trying to rebuild her game and her confidence, she has finally been rewarded. Jennifer Capriati is finally a grand slam champion. The talent was always apparent, but the drive and the confidence were not always there. In a magical display, Capriati destroyed Seles, Davenport and Hingis in successive matches to take the 2001 Australian Open title.

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.

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.

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.

Losing her way. Will she lose her will too?
Martina Hingis's loss this week at Filderstadt, the first tournament she won as a professional at the age of 16, will push her out of the Top 10 rankings for the first time in over six years. With her current slump in form, Martina has announced an indefinite break from the tour in order to recover from her injuries, retool her game, and regain her confidence. Will she return her to top form ever again?

More cheers and no jeers for the "French" Mary Pierce
She had never been accepted as one of their own by the French crowds. In their hearts she was American, on paper she was French. By winning the French Open, she has instantly become accepted into the hearts of the French public, a public which decidedly stood behind their girl throughout the course of the whole tournament.

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...

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.

Venus Williams, thrilling 'em and killing 'em
Winning Wimbledon wasn't enough to stop Venus annihilating her opponents. Venus Williams has won two titles in as many weeks, taking the Bank of the West Classic in Stanford over Davenport and the Acura Classic in San Diego over Seles. The question is whether she can sustain this level up to the US Open. The bigger question is whether she can sustain this level to dominate the tour.

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.
