The Hot List
Posted: Monday December 06, 1999 02:08 PM
Sports Illustrated's Jon Wertheim takes a weekly look at who's hot and
who's not in the tennis world.
AD IN
Mark Philippoussis: Puts checkered Davis Cup past to rest, leading
Australia to title over
France.
The Woodies: Tennis' premiere doubles team of the '90s fires up a little
something for the memory banks and beats Fabrice Santoro/Olivier Delaitre in
crucial Saturday
match.
Mal Washington: Former Wimbledon finalist -- and one of tennis' alltime
good guys -- finally calls it a career at age
30.
Anna Kournikova: Now that her 18,000 websites have been consolidated into
one address -- www.kournikova.com -- she can get back to the business of winning
a
tournament.
Greg Rusedski: Marries longtime girlfriend Lucy ("Don't call me
Jimbo") Connor over the
weekend.
AD OUT
John McEnroe: Wins senior event in London, but not before making his
weekly denigration of men's tennis. The latest rant: ATP Tour doubles is a
"parasite" and ought to be eliminated. Wonder how Peter Fleming feels
about this
suggestion.
Sebastien Grosjean: Not only loses to Philippoussis, but, more important,
fails to make him exert much energy in Friday's straight-set
match.
Say, didn't you used to be Pat
Rafter?
