... which type of player will it be? A surprise winner? Or a veteran that was expected to do it sooner? There has been at least one new winner each of the past 5 years, and the pattern seems to alternate, with surprises in odd years, and ones who were expected to do so sooner coming through in even years.
1995- Pierce-OZ surprise<br />1997- Hingis- OZ- a mild surprise<br />1997 Majoli- RG- surprise<br />1998- Novotna- vet finally winning<br />1998- Davenport- US- could count as either<br />1999- S.Williams- US- surprise<br />2000- V.Williams- WM- sort of a vet- expected to win sooner<br />2001- Jen- OZ - surprise, Was expected to win when younger, but given up on.
2002- vet=? surprise=?
