Tennis Down Under

The 2000 Grand Slam season is underway, but you'd never know it from the coverage it's getting in the media. The Australian Open has always been the weak sister of the four Slams: it's played in January, the time difference makes it tough to watch the matches, and it lacks the pomp and circumstance of the French Open or Wimbledon. One thing this tournament does have is a tremendous web presence. At ausopen.org, you get comprehensive coverage of the matches, the atmosphere, and the personalities of this highly competitive event. Click on "Draws" to see who the top players are playing. Or try "Interactive Open" for a bevy of interactive features like a virtual tour of the courts or a NetCam view of the action. If you can't jet off to Melbourne, this site is the next best thing to being there.
