Understandably withdrawing from the tour for a while.
 
Horay for Lindsey. First-ballot selection in the Nice Person (Who Also Happens To Be An Athlete) HOF.
 
At 30, withdrawing for good. Nice career. Absolutely maximized everything she had.

Couldn't have said it better.

A helluva player.
 
Seems like yesterday I was watching her in an outer court at 16.

Not sure why she has to withdraw immeditaely from the tour. Didn't Evonne Goolagobng play well into her third trimester?

I thought it was Margaret Court-Smith who won Wimbledon while she was pregnant. I can just imagine Davenport's coach berating her, "C'mon Lindsay...you gotta play through this thing!"

Agreed.

I suppose . . . and I know she's battled injuries . . . but it really seems like she left a handful of Grand Slams on the table that she could/should have won. Hard to believe her last Grand Slam title came SEVEN years ago.

Those Wimbledon losses to Sharapova (2004 semis) and Venus (2005 final) should not have happened. And she also had the Australian final (2005) in her hip pocket before Serena took it from her.
