    Speaking of Luxembourg, has anyone noticed Lindsay Davenport’s listing as a direct entry on the tournament’s website??

    Hi Kurt, I noticed that yesterday and was pretty surprised. It will be interesting to see if she does show up in Luxembourg and what her game looks like after her long break.
