The Hot List: July 3
Posted: Monday July 03, 2000 10:41 AM
Sports Illustrated's Jon Wertheim takes a weekly look at who's hot and who's not in the tennis world. Make sure to check out his daily On the Courts from Wimbledon. AD IN Mother Nature: Can the scant rain delays continue for another week? The Sisters Williams: Neither Venus nor rust-proof Serena has yet to be tested. Mark Philippoussis: Beating Sjeng Schalken 20-18 in the fifth set is evidence of a heart heretofore unseen. Gianluca Pozzi: Italian dirtballer notches best Wimbledon result at age 35. American women: After the flameout in Paris, eight of 16 fourth-round players are Yankettes.
Olivier Rochus: Never having played an ATP Tour match, 5' 4" Belgian ballboy lookalike beats third-seeded Magnus Norman to reach third round. AD OUT Damir Dokic: The Tennis Parent from Hell strikes again. Samantha Stevenson: See above. Jeff Tarango: Failure to shake Paul Goldstein's hand after epic five-setter was more grist for the mill. French Open finalists: All four of them -- Mary Pierce, Conchita Martinez, Gustavo Kuerten, Magnus Norman -- are bounced by the end of Week 1. Todd Martin: Will remember squandering a 5-2 fifth-set lead against Andre Agassi until he's old and gray. Say, didn't you used to be Nicolas Kiefer?
