Scouting Report

The world's top-ranked player has not won a Grand Slam title
this season, and is not even the favorite as Venus Williams
brings a four-tournament winning streak into the final Grand
Slam of the season; has won five titles in 2000 and compiled a
53-8 record; was runner-up at the Australian Open, where she
lost to Lindsay Davenport, and advanced to the French Open
semifinals and Wimbledon quarterfinals; has gone 8-2 in the
summer hardcourt season, winning the du Maurier Open two weeks
ago; in 1997 became the second-youngest U.S. Open women's
champion with her victory over Williams in the youngest Grand
Slam women's final in the Open Era; lost to eventual champion
Serena Williams in last year's semifinals.
