Other Comments

For those of you (like myself) who get a little carried away
with computer rankings, it looks like Martina Navratilova could
move into the #3 spot ahead of Gabriela Sabatini in the next
week or two. Martina is currently only 8 points behind Sabatini
and is she is almost a sure bet to win this tournament in San
Antonio (which would probably put Martina just a point or two
behind Sabatini).
Sabatini has two titles to defend over the next two weeks (Hilton
Head, SC next week and Amelia Island, FL the following week).
She'll have a tough time defending her computer points since both
Monica Seles and Navratilova are also playing at Hilton Head and
Steffi Graf is the #1 seed at Amelia Island. I suspect Sanchez
and Capriati are also playing at one or the other of these two
tournaments.
If Gaby cannot defend her titles over the next two weeks, it looks
like the battle for #1 will be fought solely between Graf and Seles.
I don't think Martina is a serious challenge for the #1 ranking
because she doesn't play as many tournaments as the others (including
only two of the four Grand Slams).
