Fans/ Media to Vote for Greatest Women's Match
Winner to be named at WTA Tour Championships
September 05, 2003

FLUSHING MEADOWS, New York, NY - The WTA Tour has unveiled its `Vote
for the Best' contest, which will encourage both fans and members of
the international media to decide the Greatest Women's Match during
the Open Era.

Fifteen classic matches over the last 33 years have been selected by
WTA Tour officials, taking into account compelling rivalries, from
the sport's biggest events and viewed by the widest audience at the
time.

"The most difficult part of this project was trying to select just 15
matches from over 30 years of outstanding women's tennis" said WTA
Tour CEO Larry Scott. "This will be a great way to recognize some of
the wonderful moments and matches from past years and to reflect on
those remarkable battles which many of us were privileged to watch.
It's wonderful to announce the contest here at the US Open where many
of these matches took place and where today's WTA Tour stars are
making memories for new generations."

The 15 Greatest Matches will be released at a press conference to the
media at the US Open and subsequently to fans on the Tour website on
September 8. Members of the media will be able to vote via email
while the voting process for fans will begin on the WTA Tour's web
site www.wtatour.com following the conclusion of the US Open on
September 8. Three matches will be featured during the inaugural
week, followed by two each week thereafter until October 20. Voting
will close on Monday, October 27, and the results will be counted.

The match with the highest number of votes will be deemed the
Greatest Women's Match of the Open Era during the WTA Tour
Championships presented by Porsche at Staples Center, Los Angeles.

I am impressed that Monica won three of their shortlist of fifteen!
How they can include that appalling French Open 1999 final I don't
know. But I trust that everyone here will vote for one of Monica's
victories.
