Olympic
Tennis, Sydney
After
Marat Safin's straight sets demolition of Pete Sampras in the final of the
US Open there will be a new name on everyone's lips in Sydney and a new favourite
for the Olympic gold. Safin's 6-4 6-3 6-3 triumph made
him the first Russian and the second youngest player ever to win the US title,
and his first Grand Slam victory should give him the self-belief to mount
a serious challenge in Sydney.

over seedings and surfaces will doubtless rumble on into the new millennium

– Women's Singles Player Profiles
It was only
last year that tennis commentators across the globe were bemoaning the smash-and-grab
tedium of the men's game, and lauding the artistry and touch of the under-paid
women's circuit. But with the resurgence of Lindsay Davenport and the blockbusting
arrival of the Williams sisters all that is about to change.
