| | No Grand Slam in Doubles |
 | | EW YORK -- An upset, an end to one career and another player's unsuccessful bid to win four Grand Slam titles in a year -- all this was all rolled into one in the women's doubles final at the U.S. Open Saturday. |
 | | Not only were top-seeded Gigi Fernandez and Natasha Zvereva, the defending champions of the event, upset by third-seeded Lindsay Davenport and Jana Novotna, 6-3, 6-4, but Fernandez, 33, also announced her retirement after 15 years on the tour. |
 | | Though the duo broke up before the 1997 Australian Open, where Zvereva teamed with Martina Hingis for the title, they decided to finish the remainder of the slam season, and Fernandez's career, together. |
