The Hot List: May 29
Posted: Tuesday May 30, 2000 10:12 AM
Sports Illustrated's Jon Wertheim takes a weekly look at who's hot and who's not in the tennis world. AD IN Slovakia: Wins World Team Cup. Gala Leon Garcia: Spaniard wins first title of nine-year career in Madrid. Andrei Pavel: Unseeded Romanian defeats Andrew Ilie to win the $425,000 Raiffeisen Grand Prix.
Yevgeny Kafelnikov: Thrashing of nemesis, Lleyton Hewitt, at World Team Cup suggests he might finally be off the schneid. The Woodies: One event away from setting the alltime mark for career doubles titles. Stanford men's team: Defends NCAA title, blanking unseeded Virginia Commonwealth in the final. Alex Kim: Stanford junior wins NCAA men's singles title, thrashing Kentucky's Varlos Drada 6-1, 6-1 in finals. Laura Granville: Stanford's No. 2 singles player beats teammate Marissa Irvin to win NCAA women's singles title. AD OUT Pete Sampras: Simply put, he is to clay courts what Shaquille O'Neal is to the free throw line. Serena Williams: Pulls out of the French with a knee injury. Mary Pierce: Top seed at Madrid loses early to always-dangerous Germana Di Natale. French fans are already calling her the Canadian-born Mary Pierce. Jennifer Capriati: Her game coming apart at the seams, she loses to Rita Kuti Kis -- a second-tier player, just ask Jelena Dokic -- in second round of Strasbourg. Vince Spadea: Last week's loss to Rainer Schuttler is his 17th straight defeat. Say, didn't you used to be Boris Becker, the model of sportsmanship and modesty?
