The Hot List
Posted: Monday April 24, 2000 01:29 PM
Sports Illustrated's Jon Wertheim takes a weekly look at who's hot and who's not in the tennis world. AD IN Mary Pierce: Loses all of three games in final two matches to win first title of the year in Hilton Head. Cedric Pioline: Thirtysomething Frenchman records what is arguably the biggest tournament victory of his career, taking Monte Carlo Masters Series title. Tatiana Garbin: Little-known Italian upends Kristie Boogert in final to win Budapest Open. Iva Majoli: Entering Hilton Head with a world ranking of No. 459, former French Open champ wins first-round match over Meghann Shaughnessy. Martina Navratilova: Accepts a wild card to Eastbourne to play doubles with Mariaan de Swardt. Lipton Championships (now Ericsson Open): Voted best ATP Tour event of 1999. Robbie Ginepri and Ashley Harkleroad: Win the boys and girls 18 titles, respectively, at the Easter Bowl Championships. AD OUT Gustavo Kuerten: Second seed at Monte Carlo not only loses first match to Karol Kucera but announces he may need back surgery. Monte Carlo seeds: Only three of top 16 players survive the second round. Monica Seles: A week after winning Amelia Island title, former No. 1 gets pasted by Pierce, 6-1, 6-1. Say, didn't you used to be Jackie Trail?
