Defending champion, tower of power Lindsay Davenport plays her first match after aussie open. She is ready to cruise into the open following her withdrawal at the Tokyo PPO, which is one of her favourite tournaments.
Lindsay is much more charged that ever to win the tourney and I just await to see her hold the trophy on Saturday evening, a repeat of last year.
All th best Lindsay……
