The Hot List
Posted: Monday January 10, 2000 10:03 AM
Sports Illustrated's Jon Wertheim takes a weekly look at who's hot and who's not in the tennis world. AD IN Jennifer Capriati: O.K., it was only an exhibition, but her wins over Mary Pierce and Martina Hingis could be a harbinger of things to come. Lleyton Hewitt: A good bet to be a top-10 player by year's end, teenage sensation beats Thomas Enqvist to win Australian Hardcourt for second time in three years. Sylvia Talaja: Outlasts Conchita Martinez to win first career title at the Aussie Championships. Jerome Golmard: Hard-serving Frenchman wins upset-beset Gold Flake Open. Fabrice Santoro: Two-fisted gunslinger takes Qatar title when Rainer Schuttler is forced to retire on account of cramps. Anne Kremer: Former Stanford standout does Luxembourg proud, winning her first career title in Auckland. South Africa: Team of Amanda Coetzer and Wayne Ferreira takes Hopman Cup. Tamarine Tanasugarn and Paradorn Srichaphan: To the disgruntlement of spellers everywhere, Thai twosome give strong accounting of themselves at Hopman Cup. AD OUT Yevgeny Kafelnikov: So much for the New Year's Resolution. The tsar of the first-round loss is up to his old tricks in 2000, falling to the always-dangerous Michal Tabara in opening Gold Flake match. Martina Hingis: She's absolutely right -- the women ought to get equal pay. But she doesn't arouse much sympathy for the cause when her justification is that taxes erode her $3.3 million 1999 winnings. Anna Kournikova: Gary Bettman's one-woman marketing machine loses in first event of the year to Talaja. Pat Rafter: Will play doubles with Wayne Arthurs in Sydney this week but is out of singles action until April. Say, didn't you used to be Mirjana Lucic?
