YOUNG CROP OF FEMALE TENNIS PLAYERS GAINING STYLE POINTS

          Tennis players MARTINA HINGIS, CHANDA RUBIN, MARY
     PIERCE and AMANDA COETZER were featured on "Access
     Hollywood," as Larry Mendte reported that a "younger group"
     of female players "has fans flocking to the court," and the
     players are "bringing something else to the stadiums --
     style."  Analyst BUD COLLINS: "Sure they're babes.  They're
     practically babes in arms."  Coetzer, on the "style" of the
     players: "We are in show business, somewhat.  We're
     entertaining people.  And if we didn't have that, I think
     tennis just wouldn't be as exciting to watch."  Pierce: "Its
     important to go out there and look professional as well as
     feminine" ("Access Hollywood," 8/12).
