sl="1.3"; News Business Culture Sport ... Entertainment Yevgeny Kafelnikov: The 'stubborn Russian nut' who has given up tennis to play poker Yevgeny Kafelnikov. It is a name one might almost expect to find at the top of a "Where are they now?" feature. Five years ago, he was ranked top male tennis player on the planet. Yet without officially declaring his retirement, the 30-year-old Russian, twice a Grand Slam champion and Olympic gold medallist in Sydney, has disappeared from the tournament scene, a characteristically enigmatic career move by one of the quirkiest men ever to play top-level tennis. Or top-level anything, come to that. "A stubborn Russian nut," the assessment of his former coach, Larry Stefanki, might be considered an understatement. Under Gerasimov's tutelage Kafelnikov seems to be developing into a formidable poker player. At a tournament in Moscow he knocked out Dave Colclough, the Roger Federer of European poker. But by all accounts he needs to introduce a little more subtlety and stealth into his game. "He's very aggressive and likes to bully the table," says a poker devotee of my acquaintance. "He plays poker rather like he plays tennis." Plays tennis? Or played? I confront the man himself with the $64,000 question. And like the poker player he has become, he takes my $64,000 question and raises another $64,000 question.

Kafelnikov, who was once No. 1 in the world in tennis, received a wild-card entry into the $500,000 tournament, which begins at the Moscow Country Club on Thursday. "As co-organizers of the Russian Open we had a right to give out wild cards to our members, and we felt that Yevgeny's presence will greatly enhance the image of our tournament," Russian Golf Association president Konstantin Kozhevnikov said Monday. Kafelnikov has been an avid golfer for a long time. He also serves as one of RGA's vice presidents. "I'm serious about golf," the former French and Australian Open champion said in May after taking part in an annual President's Cup invitational tournament, where his team finished third.

She defeated Elena Dementieva 6-2, 6-4 in the final. Dementieva is a fast-rising Russian star in women's tennis, a tall, powerful, and quick 18-year-old, but she was completely overpowered by Williams. Both Williams and Dementieva had been tested in their semifinals. Venus got by Monica Seles 6-1, 4-6, 6-3, while Elena worked a little harder to advance against Australian Jelena Dokic 2-6, 6-4, 6-4. Venus followed up by winning the gold medal in doubles with her sister Serena. Venus and Serena simply crushed the Dutch team, Kristie Boogert and Miriam Oremans, 6-1, 6-1. The match took just 50 minutes. Venus became only the second woman in Olympic history to win both the singles and the doubles gold. Helen Wills was the first, in 1924. The bronze singles medal went to Seles, who defeated Dokic 6-1, 6-4. Belgians Els Callens and Dominique Van Roost took the doubles bronze over Olga Barabanshchikova and Natasha Zvereva of Belarus 4-6, 6-4, 6-1.

See Online Courses Search Tennis Kafelnikov's Strange Rise to #1 Dateline: 05/08/99 Yevgeny Kafelnikov became on Monday the first Russian ever to reach the world's number one tennis ranking. Despite a congratulatory telegram from Russian president Boris Yeltsin, Kafelnikov's satisfaction must be somewhat dampened by having reached his long-held goal during a major slump. He has, in fact, lost his last seven matches. Kafelnikov displaced Pete Sampras as number one not by capturing ranking points to rise above Sampras, but by standing in place while the injured Sampras dropped below him. Sampras declined to defend his title in Atlanta last week, thus losing the 172 points that title was worth and dropping below Kafelnikov by 15 points. The strength of Kafelnikov's play very early in the year, including his Australian Open title, gave him the ranking points that have sustained him thus far, and he won't have to defend those points until early in 2000.
