The Hot List
Posted: Monday February 08, 1999 12:19 PM
Sports Illustrated's Jon Wertheim takes a weekly look at who's hot and who's not
in the tennis
world.
AD
IN
Martina Hingis: Swiss Miss wins Pan Pacific tournament to reclaim the No.
1 ranking she acquiesced to Lindsay Davenport last
year.
Fabrice Santoro: Two-handed French gunslinger beats countryman Arnaud
Clement in Marseilles
final.
Amanda Coetzer: In danger of consignment to the "Where are they
now?" files, feisty South African unseats No. 1 seed Davenport and No. 4
Monica Seles in
Tokyo.
Amelie Mauresmo: Fallout from her Australian Open coming-out party
remains wildly positive. Let's see if her sponsors feel
likewise.
Australian Davis Cup Team: Fences supposedly mended, Mark Philippoussis
is back on board, just in time for a rematch against
Zimbabwe.
AD
OUT
Petr Korda: While his positive test for steroids was bungled by the ITF,
Czech star was banned for a year by his own country's tennis
federation.
Lindsay Davenport: After second three-set loss in a week, first American
No. 1 since Chris Evert surrenders her
throne.
Yevgeny Kafelnikov: Frequent flyer/Australian Open champ falls to
journeyman Dominik Hrbaty in Marseilles. Maybe now he'll treat himself to a week
off.
John McEnroe: During a compelling interview on Charlie Rose, Mac implies
that men's tennis would surge in popularity if only the players were more
obnoxious. To borrow a phrase from a certain gray-templed art gallery
owner/aspiring rock star, "You cannot be
serious!"
Say, didn't you used to be Carlos
Moya ?
