True to the team
- Share via
When tennis star Lindsay Davenport inked an agreement with the
Newport Beach Breakers to play two home matches, she intended to keep
that promise. Proof of that came July 12, when she had to make an
early exit from her second home match after she re-injured a nagging
foot injury.
So technically, she didn’t finish her second home game. But
there’s another way to fulfill the obligation, at least to her
teammates and to the Newport fans.
With the Breakers’ brief World Team Tennis season wrapping up in
about a week and Davenport considering having surgery on her foot
early this week, there’s no way she’d be able to play again even if
she wanted to. However, it’d be great if she could show up at more
than the two games she’s obligated to, if only to support her team.
It’s not quite taking one for the team, but her teammates would
most likely love to see their marquee player cheering them on.
