I think that Allan came up with a pretty good summary,
I can add a list of disappointing performances and add a 
couple of people who did well but were not mentioned.
  Among men Yannick Noah made some noticeable improvements - 
he started to win. He is quite a show - especially in doubles -
and who knows? - might regain his 83 form. Edberg has been 
creeping up steadily without much fanfare..

List of disappontments would have to start with Krickstein, Cash,
Gomez. Even a bigger (although not surprising) disappointment is Vilas.
There is a shortage of people who look good + have good looking
strokes, I guess...   But that's subjective, some people think
Lendl is all fluid & elegant.

Among women Sabatini is the most interesting new entry, however
the way she hits her backhand suggests that it'll be a lot of
ice packs and elbow supports and time off for her. Especially
her topspin backhand on clay: she almost wraps around with
hand fully extended - nice but scary sight.

Blah, blah, blah...: I do have a great number of other good
topics I'd love to dicuss: extravagant costs of junior tennis,
disgust with Bud Collins, etc, but work+school...

I intend to go to MIlwaukee to see Borg & McEnroe hit some balls
and will try to post a review about that. That's Nov 12, then they
move to StLouis, I think...
