| During the weekend Davis cup finals
are played in Milan, it is to report the break, we think temporal, of the
reign of Martina Hingis, real despot of the female circuit during the last
seasons. To oust her it has been the tennis player, maybe the bookmakers
at the beginning of the year gave less probabilities to win. Lindsay Davenport
has on the credit side a very great will force that has finally has compensated
some evident gaps. Starting from a heavy build as well as cumbersome that
has conditioned her career for long periods. A rigid diet added to a deep
psychological training has practically changed her, called within the circuit
the "white whale " due to her complexion, to say the least, candid. At
the end Davenport can celebrate the world throne great run up also
and mainly for the numerical calculation what is other than the indubitable
merits of the American tennis player.
This year Hingis has hit only a match of the Slam (Australia), leaving her rivals the title of Paris, Wimbledon and Us Open. It must be said that the young Switzerland has always hit at least the finals of the most important season tournaments. And so, considering the continuity, she would merit more credit at the top of the female tennis. A computation system, quite criticizable, takes her away by now the first world placement for a let-up of hers more than for others' merits. But it is can be talked about the sensational stepping backward of the tennis player who, after winning practically all in the biennium 1996 /7, this year has failed only at the finals. Toward an eighteenth of her calibre maybe the computer too must have been more clement. |
