The Hot List: Sept. 11
Sports Illustrated's Jon Wertheim takes a weekly look at who's hot and who's not in the tennis world. AD IN Venus Williams: Her winning streak now at 26 matches, she beats first and second seeds successively to keep U.S. Open trophy in the family. Marat Safin: Russian newcomer wins first -- of many, one presumes -- Grand Slam title, dominating Pete Sampras in the finals. Lleyton Hewitt: In addition to reaching singles semis, Australian swashbuckler takes men's doubles title with Max Mirnyi. Elena Dementieva: Unseeded (no doubt for the last time) teenager Russian announces herself in run to the semis. Ai Sugiyama and Julie Halard Decugis: Diminutive team takes women's doubles title and with it, top team ranking. Todd Martin: Ran out of gas against Safin the semis, but veteran puts on another great late show in fourth round against Carlos Moya. Debbie Graham: Stanford grad calls it a career after 10 years. Rick Leach: Playing his final Grand Slam, 35-year-old reaches doubles final with partner Ellis Ferreira. AD OUT Serena Williams: Drops quarterfinal match against Lindsay Davenport and then pulls out of doubles with an injured left toe. Mary Pierce: Post-French hangover continues when fourth-seeded femme retires with shoulder injury against Anke Huber. Yevgeny Kafelnikov: Another insipid Slam followed by rumblings about bagging on the Olympics. Magnus Norman: After heroic effort against Mirnyi, third-seeded Swede comes out flat against Nicolas Kiefer in Round 4. Say, didn't you used to be Rafael Mensua?
