Australia's women rally back
Article Abstract:
There is renewed optimism for Australian women's tennis with the Jun 1999 Wimbledon upset of Martina Hingis by 16-year-old Jelena Dokic, of Sydney. There are also high expectations for 18-year-old Alicia Molik, and officials believe the two will inspire others to achieve greatness in women's tennis. Officials speculate that the psychological pressure of professional tennis on young girls may be the reason for its decline in Australia.
