The Hot List: July 10
Posted: Monday July 10, 2000 08:55 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 Pete Sampras: Simply the best. Venus Williams: Her first Slam came in Grand fashion, beating Martina Hingis, Serena Williams and Lindsay Davenport in last three matches. Pat Rafter: Pondering his athletic future a just few months ago, he plays masterful serve-and-volley tennis to reach the Wimbledon final. The Woodies: The Pete Sampras of doubles win yet another Slam in their final year together.
Serena Williams: Surrenders a mere 13 games in her first five matches, and after losing awkward semifinal against big sis, they team to win the doubles. Jan-Michael Gambill: Maybe there's hope for the next generation of American men's tennis after all. Airwolf reaches quarters and acquits himself against Sampras. AD OUT Mark Philippoussis: Not only falls quietly to Andre Agassi, but word on the street is that he's bagging out of next weekend's Davis Cup tie. Richard Williams: He has every right to be proud of his daughters, but does he really need to flash a sign reminding the world it was "Venus' Party"? King Richard is well on his way to becoming tennis' answer to Dennis Rodman. Natasha Zvereva: Gives either the Williams sisters or the partisan crowd a one-finger salute after losing in doubles semifinals. Andriy Dernovskyy: Ukrainian junior is defaulted from event after he punches another competitor. Say, didn't you used to get by just fine attending matches without your cell phone?
