Yeah Hingis had she won AO and the next week with a good show at TOKYO, she could have been #1 again! Wow, a GS title and #1 spot, she surely would have been the come-back kid of 2002!
But she blew it all......
It had been awhile now that the actual #1 in the world hadn't won a title: Hingis was #1 for almost the all year but didn't win anything since february.... Capriati became #1 when hingis got injured, but lost her match the next day.........Davenport became #1 when JCap lost at the championships, but didn't show up to play the finals against Serena, and never played again since then!
JCap became #1 again right before AO.......and finally won a tournament! Can you believe that??!! The #1(s) in the world didn't win a single tournament for almost a year!!!
