As far as I know they won't drop last year's points before beginning of
the finals. (And I do hope I'm right, 'cause I'd like Lendl to take part,

Well, one problem it seems to me is that only a handful of people
per country can qualify for the events.  What if 5 of the top 10
players in the world are from your country and only 4 can qualify
for the event?  That fifth person doesn't have a chance to pick up
ranking points with this tournament.

In fact, what about lower ranked players?  Becker wasn't seeded when
he first won Wimbledon.  Someone like that is unlikely to get into
these events.  It just doesn't seem fair to include them in the
computer rankings.

Not as easily as you think. Unlike most other top women players, she
has to earn most of her money actually playing tennis. She gets hardly
any endorsement money (which is where the big money is) because the
corporations are afraid of being linked to her "alternative life style."
Retired  Chris Evert probably makes more on her cosmetics commercials
each year than Martina does playing tennis--with a lot less work.

No, she's not destitute. But she's probalby not so rich that the
few hundred K$ appearance fee (or $500K prize had she won) aren't
significant to her. And since here playing days are numbered, her
potential income in later years is not too great unless the corportations
change their attitude.

Yes, I'm sure it is.  That's why there's that little line
perpendicular to the baseline which indictaes where the middle of
the court is.  Cross that, and it's a double fault.

As far as solving the dilemma of combating a partner who foot-faults
regularly, why not invite a third friend - or pre-arrange for him to
drop by casually - and have him occasionally holler out, when your
opponent transgresses, in apparrantly ignorant voice:
"Hey, you were way over the line when you served that ball.  Is that

STEFFI GRAF IS, WITHOUT A DOUBT THE GREATEST FEMALE TENNIS PLAYER IN

LONGEVITY AND EVEN SELES'S RECENT DOMINATION, STEFFI GRAF HAS THE TRUE
CLAIM TO #1 BECAUSE NONE OF THESE PLAYERS HAD THE MENTAL, AND PHYSICAL

AT THE FRENCH GRAF ROUTED SELES IN THE MOST ONE-SIDED FINAL SINCE GRAF
DISMANTLED ZVEREVA 6-0, 6-0 IN THE FRENCH OPEN IN '88. IF YOU LOOK AT
SELES'S RECORD IN ANY OF HER YEARS AT #1 AND COMPARE THEM TO EVEN THE
WORST OF GRAF'S YEARS OF DOMINATION ('87-'89) 
YOU'LL SEE WHY GRAF TRULY DOMINATED HER ERA. ALSO GRAF'S FINAL ROUND
GRANDSLAM OPPONENTS HAVE OF FAR HIGHER CALIBER THAN SELES. GRAF HAD TO
PLAY NAVRATILOVA THREE STRAIGHT FINALS IN '87. EVERT, ZVEREVA

Jeff, perhaps you missed some of the articles here. The worst example
I can think of was during the Olympics. Some guy said he got interested
in women's tennis because he watched a match between Carpiati and
Sanchez-Vicario. Since the weather was so hot, the players' uniforms
were soaking wet, and he could see through them. He went on to provide
a detailed and IMHO disguesting description of what he saw.

That is exactly what I was saying. Age, height and weight are clearly
fine. The discussion didn't get bad until "vital statistics" etc. were
mentioned. Some of us may have no problems with those topics, but for
some (again, women in particular), they are offensive.

You still misunderstand with what I was saying. I have absolutely
no problems with topics that I am not interested in; I just skip them.
I have no problems with articles that show a totally different opinion
from mine. The problem is that some people are not at all considerate
and post offensive article, sexually explicit ones in particular. When
I mention our brains, all I was saying was "think before you post." We
clearly cannot prevent people from posting offensive articles, but the
result is that some of us will simply unsubscribe, as Anne Dolce did.

Someone from Germany replied that Becker was young in 1985 and Germany lost in
the 1st or 2nd round. That must have been 1984; Germany did make it to the
1985 finals, which were won by Sweden 3-2 in Munich on a fast surface. Becker
won his singles; Edberg-Jarryd won the doubles; Edberg and Wilander beat
Michael Westphal, now retired.

No, that was in 1984, the year before.  An article about it appears in the
US Open preview issue of Tennis magazine.

Why do we keep referring to the past when players used to dominate?
Shouldn't we all understand that tennis is just not being played the way
it used to? The level seems to rise every year for me and "better"
players seem to show up. Tennis is a lot faster and powerful these days,
and obviously cannot be dominated like before considering there are many
good players. In my opinion, if you're no.1 by a 1 point lead, you're
#1, period! Close matches don't mean anything to me. Whoever won, won
because his/her oponent couldn't come up with the point to win. Besides,
isn't that was makes champions - the ability to come up with the point
when it counts? 
If when Graf was #1, she was
leading by 100 points and now Seles is #1 and leading by 35 points,that
doesn't make her any less of a #1 than Graf. After all, doesn't being #1
also depend on how well the rest of the top ten are playing? And if you
ask me, there seems to be a more competitive top 20 than there was a top
10 just a few years back. Now even players ranked in the 50's can beat
players ranked in the top ten.

hello, i would like to raise a question about agassi here, it seems like he's
unable to beat Jim Courier after his lost at the 91(?) french final, is it 
simply because he's just not as good as Jim or are there some
 mental/psychological factors behind it. Maybe you still remember, agassi 
was playing quite ok and actually taking control over courier before the rain
started, and all of a sudden after the came out of the locker room and agassi
started to go down....They are both playing the similar power-baseline game
except maybe jim has a bigger net game than agassi, but this doesn't seem to be
the reason why agassi seems to have a shadow of courier over him....
anyone out there would like to comment on this

I would definitely NOT call a very talented player like Novotna
"nothing." She can serve big and has excellent volleys. She is
very dangerous indoors but seems to have tourble on natural surfaces,
be it clay or grass. Novotna totally dominted Graf in the match
mentioned above and fully deserved to win. Again, Novotna has a serious
problem with her mental toughness and frequently losses matches she
"should" win; that's the reason of her relatively low ranking (11th).

Anyway, Graf d. Novotna  6-3, 1-6, 6-4 in Leipzig on Sunday. The
tournament in Zurich is this week, not last week. According to an
UPI report, Graf made lots of unforced errors but benefitted from
a controversial line call in the last game to break Novotna to win
the match.


Also:

Swiss Indoors:  Becker d. Korda  3-6, 6-3, 6-2, 6-4

This is Becker's third title this year. Becker seems to be motivated
to compete again since the latter part of the summer, which is a good
sign. But Becker fans don't needs to get overly excited; Boris has yet
to win a major title (e.g. Championship series or Grand Slam) this year.

Just an useless and interesting observation, 
all the non-US grand slam tournaments were won by Americans,
and the US open was won by an non-American (Swede).

      Pete Sampras and John McEnroe sewed up U.S.A.'s berth
      in the Davis Cup Finals against Switzerland by beating
      Jarryd/Edberg (Sweden) in the semi-finals.

      One noteworthy comment: Sampras played with McEnroe for
      the first time, and they exceeded the tennis pundits'
      expectations.
