The Hot List: Sept. 4
Sports Illustrated's Jon Wertheim takes a weekly look at who's hot and who's not in the tennis world. AD IN Martina Hingis: Williams mania aside, through Week 1 she's looked the best of any seed. Pete Sampras: Simply put, this has become his tournament to lose.
Hyung-Taik Lee: Korean qualifier's reaching the fourth round is feel-good story of Week 1. Justine Henin and Kim Clijsters: Belgian teenagers serve notice they're future top-10 material. Marat Safin: Despite suffering from a cold, he's displayed heretofore unseen mettle, grinding out two five-setters. AD OUT Damir Dokic: Like a bearded Tiger Woods, he's now made headlines at three Grand Slams this year. The latest ordeal stemmed from his objection to the price of a piece salmon. Please, keep this guy away from Alain Ducasse. Andre Agassi: His mind far away from tennis, he drops second-round match to Arnaud Clement as tailspin accelerates. Gustavo Kuerten: Second seed loses opening match to qualifier Wayne Arthurs. That sound you heard was Marat Safin breathing a sigh of relief. Anna Kournikova: Summer hardcourt success undermined by flat loss to comer Justine Henin. (It's called strategy, Anna. Look into it.) Goran Ivanisevic: Loses 18 of the last 19 games in his first-round debacle. This goes beyond Croatian frustration. It's been a colorful career, but it might be time to hang 'em up. Mark Philippoussis: Shows little interest in deploying a Plan B in straight-set loss to Jan-Michael Gambill. Say, didn't you used to be Tommy Haas? Click here to send a question or comment
