The Hot List
Posted: Monday February 28, 2000 09:59 AM
Sports Illustrated's Jon Wertheim takes a weekly look at who's hot and who's not in the tennis world. AD IN Monica Seles: In her first event since September, world's No. 13 shakes off a smidge of rust and wins IGA SuperThrift Classic in Oklahoma City. Marc Rosset: Swiss Mister is still as mobile as a lawn jockey, but he takes out Yevgeny Kafelnikov at London's AXA Cup to win second title of the year. Juan Ignacio Chela: Unknown Argentine beats countryman Mariano Puerta to win first title in Mexico City. U.S. Davis Cup fever: Mac + Agassi + Sampras + controversy + Great Western Forum = 20,000 tickets already sold for April's quarterfinal tie. Gabriela Sabatini: Rumors persist that luminous Argentine -- currently residing alongside Lionel Richie and David Caruso in the "Where are they now?" files -- is contemplating a comeback. Jelena Dokic: Tempestuous teenager reverses field and will now play for Australian Olympic team after all. As of today, anyway. AD OUT Venus Williams: Another week, another withdrawal. This time the State Farm IMG event in Scottsdale, Ariz. Steffi Graf: Cancels a segment of her farewell tour with a knee injury. Will Gil Reyes be helping with the rehab? Yevgeny Kafelnikov: After trouncing Greg Rusedski in semis, he falls to Rosset in London finals -- but not before complaining about the court conditions. Hey, at least it wasn't a potato field. Julie Halard-Decugis: Top seed in Oklahoma City pulls out with a stomach injury. Must have been the chili-cheese dogs they were selling at the arena. Say, didn't you used to be Vince Spadea?
