Davenport returns to action, Defeats Srebotnik 6-3 6-3

GREAT comeback to defending ur title Lindsay!!!!
She had some really promising stats too!! :angel: :angel:

Amazing good Davenport, if we look at her stats, she served solid, and her returns were solid too. Keep up the good form Lindsay and we are all glad that you are healthy again!

First win since March :woohoo:

Nicely done Linds :yeah:

Lindsay! :) :worship: :hearts:
Congratulations !!
Good luck against Francesca tomorrow! :D

Lindsay :banana: :hug:

She seemed pretty good after going down a break early just dominated from then on

Woohoo!! :banana::aparty::banana:

First serve & is 60
And she won 72& on her first serve.

:banana: Well done Lindsay! :bounce:

im so happy!!

Well done Lindsay! :yeah:

Kata :sad: :hug:

Lindsay :D

60% is better than she did last year in the early stages of this tourney! :eek:

GREAT...Enjoy the live scoreso much

It's a solid win for Lindsay. Keep it up girl. ;)

:woohoo: Lindsay congratulations!!! :inlove::rocker:
good luck in the second round :kiss:

60% is better than she did last year in the early stages of this tourney! :eek:

That's true, and I think she played great! Good luck in your next round against Schiavone!

Lindsay. :woohoo:

I thought you were going to suck. Awesome win, awesome stats, awesome time to finally start playing decent tennnis (on the best court of your best surface). :D

Yey!!! Lindsay.

welcome Linsy, Congrats :clap2:

Great job Lindsay :banana:

too bad Kata had to draw her , but good luck at US Open Kata :hearts: and Lindsay, I really hope you clinch the title ;) :rocker:

Wasn't taken to deuce until final game on her serve. She needs 2 more matches in tourney to shake rust off and then I wouldn't want to play her at Open.

Congratulations Linds :worship:

Good to see the clean-striking war-horse back in action. ;)

Lindsay! :clap2: :bigclap: :D

I was so afraid she'd be knocked from 1st round again :tape: Well, she might have been still pretty rusty at times, but anyway she game was great! It looks like Lindsay MUCH more! :worship:

That's right. She's pissed. She's going to win the USO and then shove the trophy up Larry Scott's ass! :fiery:

hell yeah!

That's right. She's pissed. She's going to win the USO and then shove the trophy up Larry Scott's ass! :fiery:

:haha: I'd give a years worth of pay to see that!

I'm so so so happy! I was so scared she'd go down in the first round again.
This must be a huge weight off her shoulders. She said before the tournament began that her goal was to win matches and get back to normal.

God I missed seeing those fab serve stats, even on a live score!

Congrats Lindsay :bounce: good luck in round 2!

thank god lindsay won!!!! So happy :banana:

Good job Linds :)

Glad to see Lindsay got her first win since her injury layoff

Amazing stats from Lindsay!!! She was in control of the match after being down 2 games on the first set.

One more match like these and the rust will go and once again, I'll put you on my contenders list for the Open!!!

Lindsay!!! :woohoo:

vCash! :haha: Congrats Mark Spruce!!! :yeah: :hug:

Great job Lindsay!

Keep it up:)

go lindsay you can have a crack at the USOPEN

I have a feeling she's going to do well this year at Flushing Meadows. Like 1994 Wimbledon for Navratilova (maybe she can take it a step further than Martina did).

SF

great job, it's so great to have her back. she's looking good and i'm loving the longer hair:)

These were Davenport comments after loss to Stosur.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"My body was starting to feel drained as the match went on, especially in the third set," fourth-seeded Davenport told reporters.

"I don't think I could get a serve over 100 (mph). But I'm happy that at least my body didn't get injured and my back is fine."

"Practising for three weeks was definitely not enough time but I felt a strong desire to play out here in Los Angeles."

"Believe me, the next time you see me I will be a lot sharper," she said.

"It stinks," Davenport said of the loss. "But it is a step forward for me."

"I'm happy at least I felt my body didn't get injured. The back was fine. My arm was just so tired. All the muscles were just 'What are you doing?'"

"Hopefully, the next time you see me I'll be much sharper," she said, adding she would next play New Haven as she prepares for the year's final Grand Slam tournament.

Another New Haven title coming up!!

Ain't that the truth!

Nice to see you back Linzi :bounce:

Congrats Lindsay :bounce:

I am not sure how much I would make of this win.... Lindsey took a beatdown in her first match back (Stosur) and Kata can really stink up the court. Will have to wait and see how Lindsey progresses.

:worship: :kiss: :hug:

Hi babes http://www.planetsmilies.com/smilies/love/love0089.gif http://www.planetsmilies.com/smilies/love/love0037.gif

Lindsay, I'm so glad you're back to your winning ways. Keep up the good work! :hug:

Thanks for the pictures Mark! :bounce: I'm loving the long hair. God it's been so long.

YES!!!!
Great job...!!!

welcome back lindsay! :)

Lindsay played very well today. She was absolutely killing her returns. I think I counted 12 service return winners. Plus, her serve was cranking today.

Overall, a great start to the tournament. :yeah:

Lindsay :woohoo: great to see you win your first match since March, good luck against Franny.

I'm glad she won :D C'mon Lindsay! :D

WTF Kata? :help: :sad: :(

Well done! I'm so amaized.

It'll ba an interesting match vs Franny:)

Lindsay :woohoo:

First win since March :woohoo:

Nicely done Linds :yeah:

I know, it's been way too long! Nicely done Lindsay, now beat Schiavone. I think she'll win. When's she scheduled to play Justine?

She's back!!! Great!
Amazing how Lindsay keeps finding the courage to come back after all this injury misery.

Lindsay must have played really well as your a hard fan to please Andrew and thanks for sharing how she played as I only watched a live score on the way to school. Also when you have time take the missing you Lindsay line out of your sigi I think we can safely say she's back. :lol::worship:

Can't until the final as Lindsay in the top quater and Justine in the bottom.
