The Hot List
Posted: Monday May 22, 2000 10:15 AM
Sports Illustrated's Jon Wertheim takes a weekly look at who's hot and who's not in the tennis world. AD IN Gustavo Kuerten: Outlasts resurgent Marat Safin in a fifth-set breaker to win Hamburg Masters Series event. Can you say French Open favorite? Monica Seles: A pre-Paris confidence booster, she beats Amelie Mauresmo to take Italian Open, a tournament she last won in 1990. Marat Safin: Yes, he lost four-hour marathon in Hamburg final, but after a major swoon, his game is clicking. Jeff Tarango: Colorful American vet beats Mark Philippoussis in first round of Raiffeisen Grand Prix. Georgia women's team: Pulls major upset of undefeated Stanford to win NCAA team title. Amanda Coetzer: Top seed in Antwerp lives up to her billing, beating a game Cristina Torrens Valero in the final. AD OUT Lindsay Davenport: Back strain forces her out of Italian Open. Venus Williams: Gets drilled on clay for the second week in a row, this time by Jelena Dokic, 6-1, 6-2 in Rome. Pete Sampras: Hardly an auspicious prelude to the French, Lakers' No. 1 fan falls 6-4, 6-4 to Arnaud Di Pasquale in Hamburg. Follows that up with a three-set loss to Dominik Hrbaty at World Team Cup. Say, didn't you used to be a healthy top-10 player? Click here to send a question or comment to Jon Wertheim's Tennis Mailbag.
