Lindsay Davenport

THE MODERATOR: Questions for Lindsay.

LINDSAY DAVENPORT: Yeah, I was really excited to get out on the court today. It was tough waiting around, but was really relieved when I saw my match was going to be able to get played. I thought I opened up the tournament really well. I played aggressive, felt like I was hitting the ball well, serving well. I mean, I'm really happy with the way things went.

LINDSAY DAVENPORT: Exactly. I feel like the last few days - I got her Wednesday- really helped me get prepared and turned my game into a positive in the last few days.

LINDSAY DAVENPORT: I have a rented flat here in the village. I love staying out here. I've stayed out here the last probably six years. Actually probably stayed nine out of the 11 I played. I only stayed in the city once or twice. I rather enjoy it out here.

LINDSAY DAVENPORT: No. I bring take-in quite a bit. My mom is here with me for the first time this year. She'll cook a little bit. It's a nice little town, very convenient to getting to the courts here.

LINDSAY DAVENPORT: Maybe a handful of other ones. At the other Slams, I always stay at a hotel. This one, I think the convenience factor is very huge and a big part of staying nearby. If you can get a nice place, you got to search a little bit, but the restaurants are great, and it's just super easy to be able to walk home. If there's rain delays, go home if you're later in the day, everything that's included with it.

LINDSAY DAVENPORT: I do. I stopped traveling with a laptop a couple years ago. I have brought one here, though. My five top sites would probably be AOL to get mail. E Online, I like to read some gossip stuff. Embarrassingly enough NeimanMarcus.com. Probably ESPN.com. For a fifth one, I don't know. Those are probably the four.

LINDSAY DAVENPORT: On AOL they have quite a bit of news. I usually search like top news stories from there. Four is pretty good. And the WTA Tour, of course (laughter).
