THIS WEEK: Lindsay Davenport returns to the top as Martina Hingis falls to Amelie Mauresmo in Paris. Mauresmo made the final, to climb from 28 to 22 (WTA #18 -> #15), while Serena Williams went one better, justifying her high SRI computer rank (up from 8 to 7, WTA #24 -> #21). Sabine Appelmans and Sarah Pitkowski have both crashed out of the Top 50, after having good Februarys in 1998.
