Lindsay Ann Davenport (born June 8 1976 in Palos Verdes, California) is a former World No. 1 American professional tennis player. She has won three Grand Slam singles tournaments, an Olympic gold medal in singles, and over U.S.$21 million in prize money. She is one of only four women (the others being Steffi Graf, Martina Navratilova, and Chris Evert) since 1975 who has been the year-end World No. 1 at least four times. Davenport finished 1998, 2001, 2004, and 2005 as the top ranked player.

[edit] Playing style
Her game is built largely around her groundstrokes, service return, and serve, which are considered to be among the most powerful and cleanly struck in the history of women's tennis.[citation needed] Her devastating return of second service is frequently taken well inside the baseline. Lack of court speed is perhaps her greatest weakness, mainly because of her size. At slightly over 6 ft 2 in (1.89 m), she is the tallest woman ever to win a Grand Slam singles title.[citation needed] However, she has worked to overcome this by losing weight, overhauling her conditioning program, and by becoming mentally stronger. She is an advocate for the mental game, as evidenced by her comments on the cover of "Smart Tennis: How to Play and Win the Mental Game."
[edit] Personal life
Davenport is the daughter of Wink Davenport, who was a member of the U.S. volleyball team at the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City, and Ann Davenport. She attended both Chadwick School in Palos Verdes Peninsula, California and Murrieta Valley High School in Murrieta, California. Davenport currently owns a home in the Irvine, California neighborhood of Shady Canyon.[1]
In 2003, she married investment banker and former All-American tennis player Jon Leach, brother of tennis player Rick Leach.
Davenport took a break from competitive tennis in late 2006 and much of 2007 to have a baby. On June 10, 2007, she gave birth to a baby boy, Jagger Jonathan, in Newport Beach, California.[2] [3] [4]

[edit] 2004
Davenport won a tour-high seven titles, including four straight during the summer (Stanford, Los Angeles, San Diego, and Cincinnati). She also had the most match wins on the WTA Tour, with 63. She finished the year ranked first for the third time in her career. She defeated Venus and Serena Williams for the first time since 2000, which she said instilled belief in her that she could win more Grand Slam tournaments.
[edit] 2005
Davenport's success continued into 2005 when she reached her first Grand Slam final, at the Australian Open, since the 2000 U.S. Open. Unfortunately for Davenport, she fell to Serena Williams in three sets.
At the tournament in Indian Wells, California in March, Davenport made history by defeating world number three Maria Sharapova 6-0, 6-0. It marked the first time that a player ranked in the top three had ever been "shut out" on the WTA tour and was also the first time Sharapova had failed to win a game during a match.
Davenport bypassed the European clay court season and went to the French Open without having played a professional competitive match for weeks. She confounded expectations with a run to the quarterfinals on her least favourite surface, including a come-from-behind victory over Kim Clijsters in the fourth round. Davenport lost to eventual runner-up Mary Pierce.
At Wimbledon, Davenport was the top seed and made it easily to the fourth round, where she was tested again by Clijsters but came through in three sets to win her second successive match against the Belgian. Davenport then reached the semifinals, where her match against Amélie Mauresmo was interrupted by rain and was completed over the course of two days. Davenport eventually defeated Mauresmo 6-7, 7-6, 6-4 and faced 14th seeded Venus Williams in an all-American final. Davenport lead most of the way, as she served for the match at 6-5 in the second set and had a match point at 5-4 in the third set. Williams went on to win 4-6, 7-6, 9-7 in the longest (in terms of time) Wimbledon final in history. In that match, Davenport sustained a serious back injury while leading 4-2 (40-15) in the final set, although she acknowledged after the match that the injury did not cause her defeat and that Williams was the superior mentally strong player on the day. The injury forced Davenport to withdraw from Fed Cup competition. She returned to the tour at the Stanford tournament. After reinjuring her back in a warmup just hours before her match, Davenport retired while trailing 5-0 in the first set. This back injury then forced her to withdraw from other hardcourt events in San Diego and Los Angeles.
Davenport returned to the WTA Tour in August, winning her comeback tournament in New Haven without dropping a set. Davenport then reached the quarterfinals of the U.S. Open, where she held a match point on Elena Dementieva before falling 7-6(6) in the third set. Davenport briefly lost the #1 ranking following the event.
After the loss at the U.S. Open, Davenport captured the title in Bali without dropping a set and subsequently qualified for the WTA Tour Championships. She then won the title in Filderstadt, defeating Mauresmo in the final for the second consecutive year. The win made her only the tenth woman ever to win 50 career WTA singles titles.
In Zurich, Davenport saved two match points while defeating Daniela Hantuchová 3-6, 7-5, 6-2. The win assured Davenport of recapturing the World No. 1 ranking from Sharapova the following week. In the final, Davenport defeated sixth seeded Patty Schnyder 7-6(5), 6-3 for her fourth title in Zurich and her sixth title of 2005, second only to Clijsters's nine. It was also the first time Davenport had saved match points en route to a victory since the 1999 U.S. Open. The Zurich title left her with eleven Tier I titles, second among active players.
Davenport was a semifinalist at the WTA tour year-ending championships (losing to Pierce 7-6(5), 7-6(6)), which ensured that she finished the year ranked No. 1. 2005 was the fourth time that Davenport ended the year ranked No. 1, joining Chris Evert, Martina Navratilova, Steffi Graf, and Monica Seles as the only female players to end a year ranked first at least four times.
In 2005, TENNIS Magazine ranked Davenport 29th in its list of the 40 greatest players of the tennis era.
[edit] 2006
On February 22, 2006, Davenport became just the eighth woman in WTA history to win 700 singles matches, when she handed out her fourth career "double bagel," defeating Elena Likhovtseva 6-0, 6-0 in the second round of the Dubai tournament.
At the March tournament in Indian Wells, California, Davenport lost in the fourth round to Martina Hingis 6-3, 1-6, 6-2. She was then absent from the tour until August because of a back injury. She returned in Los Angeles, losing a second round match to Samantha Stosur 6-7, 6-4, 6-3. It was Davenport's earliest exit from a tournament since early 2003. Davenport attributed the loss to her having resumed training only three weeks prior to the start of the tournament. Davenport had re-hired Adam Pieterson as her coach, with whom she worked during her 2004-05 resurgence.
At the tournament in New Haven, Davenport defeated World No. 1 Amelie Mauresmo in the quarterfinals 6-4, 7-5 but was forced to retire with a right shoulder injury while playing Justine Henin in the final.
Despite injury, Davenport reached the U.S. Open quarterfinals, where she again lost to Henin 6-4, 6-4.
Davenport's last competitive match before the announcement of her pregnancy was a quarterfinal loss in Beijing to top ranked Mauresmo 6-4, 6-3. It was Mauresmo's first win over Davenport after nine consecutive losses.
[edit] 2007
On July 18, 2007, Davenport announced that she would return to the WTA Tour. At her first tournament, she partnered with Lisa Raymond in the doubles competition at New Haven, where they lost in the first round to top seeds Cara Black and Liezel Huber 6-7(1), 6-3, 10-4.
Davenport returned to singles competition in Bali, where she won her first title since 2005, defeating Daniela Hantuchová in the final. En route to the title, Davenport defeated third ranked Jelena Janković, among others. Davenport and her partner Hantuchová also advanced to the semifinals in Bali before withdrawing from the tournament.
Davenport's second tournament was in Beijing, where she defeat fourth-seeded Russian Elena Dementieva in the quarterfinals 7-6(1), 6-1 before losing to Janković in the semifinals 6-3, 7-5.
Davenport's third tournament was in Quebec City, Canada, defeating second seeded Vera Zvonareva in the semifinals 6-2, 6-7(3), 6-3 and Julia Vakulenko in the final. This was Davenport's 53rd career singles title and lifted her to #73 in the WTA rankings.
[edit] 2008
Davenport hopes to participate in the Olympics in Beijing, China and in at least three of the four Grand Slam tournaments. Davenport also has been named to the U.S. Fed Cup team for its first round tie against Germany in February in La Jolla, California.
