THIS WEEK: Venus Williams turned the tables on Lindsay Davenport with a resounding win at Stanford. Venus is now just 5 points behind Lindsay - it was 77 last week. Even Hingis is within striking range.

Meghann Shaughnessy (almost my namesake) is surprisingly low on the SRI Rankings computer. She is the WTA's #51, but is only 109th here with a dismal rating of 540, even after beating Kim Clijsters this week.
