Lindsay Davenport is an incredible player. What an amazing career she has had... beautiful and clean ball striker and so graceful both on court and off court. The 2005 GS losses to Serena at the AO and Venus at Wimbledon in particular are tough ones but I always feel like she won 7 slams or more and its surprising to think she won only 3. She was so consistent and wish she played longer.

Sorry, don't agree with that at all - she had power, but limited feel, was very average at the net and her movement was awful! A great power hitter and a good serve, but was outclassed by the Williams sisters as they had as much power, but could also move.

@@joemurphy1072 she was one of the best at the net, just didn't need to volley too often as her strokes were so often winners. She was known for having great hands and it's obvious to watch so I am not sure where you get that from. The only area the sisters out flanked her on was obviously movement, possibly a slight advantage with the serve for Serena but they were both great in that department. But the gulf in movement was huge.

When it comes to ground stroke speed, there are different types of ball strikers. Aryna Sabalenka and Kutznetsova's balls have more spin and kinda jump off the court. Kvitova and Davenport hit the ball so flat and early so their shots really get on u so quickly. Nobody could take your time away like Davenport in her prime

A very enjoyable interview. Lindsay is a really interesting and engaging interviewee. I like the way Chris Evert is, as is often the case, very snarky about Steffi Graf. First, she mentions the string of great champions that Lindsay faced during her long career (omitting Graf - possibly deliberately), then stating when some champions left (presumably, Graf), even greater ones came along. To be honest, apart from Serena, who does Chris think is a greater champion than Graf in that post-Graf era? Serena - possibly a ‘yes’. Who else?

I have seen a pattern here in the smattering of these interviews. Evert does the gracious humble self depreciating thing that she has down pat, and in each, the interviewee finds a way to remind her and us, that she's not going to get away with it. She can do the interview and ask the questions, but she is a member of 'the club' in good standing, and nobody is going to pretend differently.

@@antinotis I agree with your points. I don’t understand the seeming resentment either, especially after all this time. I’ve said many times that Graf was only interested in playing tennis and in winning matches. She didn’t care about the American Evert, Navratilova and Shriver clique in her earlier days on the tour and she never strove to be a part of their group. She was just happy doing her own thing. Evert and Navratilova sure seem to suffer from ‘sour grapes syndrome’ - it’s quite sad really. Graf, on the other hand, seems very happy with her life now.
