W kolejnym sezonie nastąpił jeszcze szybszy rozwój kariery - wygrała pierwszy turniej (Filderstadt i Oakland) oraz dotarła do półfinału US Open (trzecia najmłodsza półfinalistka w historii tego turnieju po Jaeger i Capriati), a także zakwalifikowała się do turnieju Masters, w którym osiągnęła finał, przegrany do Graf w pięciu setach.
W 1998 wygrała ponownie Australian Open w grze pojedynczej, na US Open dotarła do finału, na kortach Rolanda Garrosa i trawnikach Wimbledonu przegrywała w półfinałach.
Dotarła jednak do finału US Open we wrześniu, gdzie uległa Serenie Williams, dla której był to pierwszy tytuł wielkoszlemowy.
The result was "dotara" which in Hindi is the general name for a two-string instrument.
Dotara's strings are held by and tightened with tapered wooden pegs fitted into tapered holes ..and since we did the tapering without specialized tools their fit is less than perfect and they would not hold unless we kept the string tension much lower than in a conventional string instrument.
Playing dotara was so much fun that we started to wonder what it would be like to play a larger deeper toned even more resonant member of our bowus family, and so we proceeded to build bass bowus, an 8 ft. long instrument with only a single string.
