I don't think Vaidisov will make it further than Davenport. Considering Davenport won more matches on grass last Wimbledon than Vaidisova did in her whole career. Vaidisova does not have the transitional game that Lindsay has to suceed on grass.

Yes, I'm saying Davenport will go farther as well. She has more accuracy and power than Vaidisova, and she can finish points at the net better than the majority of the field.

I know it's a long shot for her, but I'd really like to see her win Wimbly
Amelie Mauresmo,
Her serve is solid,
Her Groundstrokes need a slight adjustment on the backswing
Her Volleys are some of the best on the WTA
and She loves to be agressive...which is vital to winning on grass...it's not about the rallies, but who takes the initiative and is aggressive first....this is the essence of Mauresmo's game...so why not?





Yea I know the mental aspect, but I'm still hoping.

Mauresmo's always a contender at Wimbledon; she'll threaten for sure.

Mauresmo is definetley one of the favourites. She loves to play at Wimbledon away from home pressure. She has shown she can play well at big moments now. Her game is great for the grass aswell.

It's also the Slam she consistantly does the beset in. Her variety of power and slice really suits Wimbledon- she's one of the few who can win on grass without sheer power.

That is terrible news. Not only will she not be able to compete at her best chance for another slam, but she will lose a lot of points from her final last year.

Sad Sad Sad Sad Sad This is dreadful news. I was really looking forward to her comeback at Wimbledon. It's a shame she will lose points, but if she can recover afterwards, she has no points at all to defend in the US Open series until the end. I hope she will recover from this back injury and get back to her winning ways on the tour. What a blow to wimbledon.

I think Davenport is done for now anyhow...I really love her but her chance of winning another GS is long gone. Similar story to Agassi...so distressing, two of my favourite players (well Agassi is my all time favourite, whereas Lindsay I just like a lot) such a shame to see them bow out like this. Unfortunately Lindsay's chances have come and gone and this wimbledon withdrawal is just the final nail in the coffin...

I think it depends on how long Lindsay decides to play on for. If she is determined to play on to the future seasons then she is still one of the best who can win slams. If she dies away towards the end of this season and the injury doesn't get better then sadly her time is up. It's her motivation. If she can get this injury out of the way and have a decent end to the season, she should get back to the top. If she doesn't get some form going then I have a feeling she wil retire by the end of the year. Unless that nagging for 1 more slam comes back!

I think Davenport (and Agassi Very Happy ) might have one more slam in each of them. For Davenport, it's a question of whether she wants it, and Agassi, it's a matter of first getting comfortable.
