Lindsay Davenport

After descovering that this is the 30th time in her career that she has made it to Quater Finals and only behind Graff as far as all time money earners goes, it got me thinking where does she rate as far as all time greats.

She is definatly one of the more constant players we have seen and by all reports (well i can only go by seeing her interviewed) a really nice person too.

She's so big, plays a very unattractive game and on top of that she's very ugly. Plus she beat my favourite player the other day and she always seems to have ‘injuries’.

You're obviously a very intelligent person. Maybe you could give her some credit for being a good player for the first half of her career, and admittedly, overweight for a top sportswoman, only to double her efforts, lose the weight, and get to #1 in the world and win grand slams after having already been on the circuit for years.

I admire and respect her what she has been able to achieve.

I respect her as a tennis player - I don't think anyone could question her ability.

But having said that, she doesn't bring much to the table by way of personality - I haven't seen her show emotion on the court very much at all - a smile here and there wouldn't go astray?

Might be a great person away from the court, but on the court, which is what we see, she's a tad boring.

Well said mate, and even worse, she often hits winners but judging by her reaction you would think she's lost the point. I don’t like players who show nothing on the court, how boring would tennis be if players were all like her, or Henman?

She really is a good player...Deserves another GS

Easily one of the most respected players on tour, nobody can doubt that.

Hardenne, Clijsters, and the Williams sisters have had her measure for some time now which is why she will struggle to win grand slams.

She will face Hardenne in her next round and stuggline with injury, she will struggle in this one. End of the Oz Open on Tuesday for her as far as singles is concerned.

Tower of Power. Needs a few more GS wins before being considered top 3 of all time, great player nonetheless.

Injury a big concern, Herdenne will exploit it.
