  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).
