LOS ANGELES, Nov 5 (Reuters) -- The WTA Championships may be the richest tournament in women's tennis, but Lindsay Davenport said Tuesday that no one knew what the event was or who was playing in the $3 million season-ending extravaganza.
"It's our fifth major and the people don't understand that," said Davenport, who will meet fellow American Monica Seles in a first-round clash on Wednesday. "When you keep moving it around, it's hard for people to know what it is.
"I've heard a lot of people say, 'I'm going to the Staples Center,' but they're not quite sure what it is or who's playing.
"That's when you've got to try and establish a foundation and keep it in one place for a couple of years.
"I think they [the tennis officials] really don't have a five-year plan. They don't really know what's going to happen, and we have to figure it out as soon as possible."
Lindsay for president ! (of the WTA) ;)
