Sorry for going overboard but I've really missed her and hardly watched any Wimbledon because of it :D

She was also on CNN World Sport today.
Clips from the WTT event and a quicky comment
from Lindsay were shown about her return.
LD looked great.
The time off has done wonders for her...she
looked so happy playing. :)
Now I feel happy too.

Greenout I saw her on World Sports - she was actually on twice - once before she played the other after she played (actually the one after was funny when she said how she found out she'd be playing singles first and she was like ohh noo) <g>

an article i found on www.cnnsi.com
HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) -- Rested, but rusty, Lindsay Davenport tested her repaired right knee Friday night with her first competitive match in more than six months.
Davenport, the No. 9 player in the world, made her comeback in the not-so-serious confines of World Team Tennis as a member of the New York Buzz in a match against the Hartford FoxForce. She won 12 of 22 games in a combination of women's singles, mixed doubles and women's singles.
She underwent knee surgery in January to repair cartilage and lost the strength in her leg after 10 weeks on crutches. She has spent the past few months gaining it back as well as her speed and flexibility.
"It's been a long, long road. Certainly, I've got much farther to go," she said.
She opened the evening with a match against Meghann Shaughnessy, the No. 20 player, who quickly got the best of a slower Davenport and beat her 5-2.
"I'm definitely a little unsure out there about my shot selection. When you're playing well, you just kind of know where the balls are going and where you're going to hit the ball," Davenport said. "And when you don't, you second-guess yourself. I just need to get over that and play more."
Davenport grew sharper as the night wore on winning in mixed doubles with Mahesh Bhupathi and women's doubles with Liezel Huber.
Her team finished Friday night with a 22-16 win over Hartford.
"I kind of knew the first few matches I came back are going to be tough," she said. "I'm really confident I'm going to keep improving."
Davenport has one more team tennis match then plans to play in the U.S. Fed Cup series against Israel in Springfield, Mo., on July 19-20.
