The Hot List
Posted: Monday December 13, 1999 05:35 PM
Sports Illustrated's Jon Wertheim takes a weekly look at who's hot and
who's not in the tennis world.
AD IN
ATP Tour: Unveils points race and flashy new facelift. Welcome to the
20th century,
boys.
Pat Rafter: Convalescing Aussie willing to play doubles only, bypassing Masters Series events and
sacrificing his singles ranking, to help the mates defend Davis Cup
title.
Andre Agassi and Serena Williams: U.S. Open champs will meet with President Clinton at the White House this Wednesday. Plus, both were named finalists for USOC
Sportsman and -woman of the Year. And this was before Serena agreed to play the
Australian Open after all.
Tim Henman: Married longtime squeeze (What if) Lucy Heald at 12th century
church last weekend. Hope there was a grass surface
underneath.
Steffi Graf: Won the best-of-three match challenge Sunday, beating Amanda
Coetzer in three
sets.
AD OUT
Best-of-14 ranking system: Good riddance to bad
rubbish.
Mark Philippoussis: Caught celebrating Davis Cup heroics with topless
dancer. Keep that up, and you'll be confused for an NBA
player.
Say, didn't you used to be Alex
Corretja?
