Davenport's Inspirational Play
When Lindsay Davenport announced her comeback to the WTA Tour, it didn't seem feasible that she would be able to hang with the rising crop of young talent in women's tennis. There were too many names, such as Henin, Williams, Sharapova, Jankovic and Ivanovic standing in her way....but the American legend is proving this thought to be bogus.
Yesterday
Lindsay is an inspiration to all veterans playing pro tennis, as she is playing such quality ball despite nagging back injuries, and despite taking care of her 9-month old son. After yesterday's match the star studded mom gave some motherly words of wisdom:
"My son's been sick now for like four days,''
It's great to see Lindsay hanging in, and very promising for the game of tennis!

If Lindsay would actually finish a tournament, perhaps it might be "promising" for the game of tennis.
If you think a 31-year-old who is going to call it quits again as soon as she and her husband start planning for their second child (if not before).
Do you think, at all, before you put down all this babble?

P.S. Did you actually SEE the Ivanovic-Davenport match, or was that an unfortunate and misleading figure of speech?
Even at her best, the Davenport "of old" would not have dominated Ivanovic without a whole lot of help from the other side of the net. Pretty simplistic to draw any kind of conclusions from that one.
I know this is the internet, but you can't just ramble incoherently without any thought or fact or point. And we get it: American tennis players are heroes.
Davenport ROCKS!!!
