NEW YORK -- Lindsay Davenport was in the middle of another major life
milestone when she found out she had been elected to the International
Tennis Hall of Fame.
The three-time Grand Slam champion got the call when she was in a
hospital about to give birth to her fourth child in early January. With
daughter Haven nearly 2 months old now, Davenport can start to reflect
on the honour.
"Growing up playing tennis, getting to the Hall of Fame was never even
in my dreams," she said on a conference call on Monday after the class
of 2014 was announced. "It seemed a little bit too big for me."
The 37-year-old Davenport is thrilled that at the enshrinement ceremony
in Newport, Rhode Island, on July 12, her 6-year-old son Jagger will get
to learn about the sports history. He plays tennis, too.
Davenport will be joined by five-time Paralympic medallist Chantal
Vandierendonck of the Netherlands in the recent player category, coach
Nick Bollettieri, executive Jane Brown Grimes and British broadcaster
John Barrett in the contributor category.
Davenport won the 1998 U.S. Open, 1999 Wimbledon, 2000 Australian Open
and 1996 Olympic gold medal to go with three major doubles titles. The
American held the world No. 1 ranking for 98 weeks in her career.
That first major championship, at her home Grand Slam event, always will
be special.
"For any player who has ever played with insecurity, not sure where
theyre supposed to be, how good they are, that really was a huge moment,
not just in my career but for me personally," Davenport said.
Bollettieri, now 82, has coached 10 players to the No. 1 ranking,
including Andre Agassi, Jim Courier, Monica Seles and Boris Becker. In
1978, he founded the Nick Bollettieri Tennis Academy, the first
full-time tennis boarding school.
At a news conference in New York, Bollettieri acknowledged this was one
of the few times in his life he felt at a loss for words.
"To be standing aside some of the players Ive helped achieve what they
are," he said, "is a dream that even Nick Bollettieri cant comprehend."
Vandierendonck was a top Dutch player before she was injured in a car
accident in 1983 and went on to become a pioneer in wheelchair tennis.
Brown Grimes is a former managing director of the Womens Professional
Tennis Council, now known as the WTA Tour Board; president of the U.S.
Tennis Association; and president of the International Tennis Hall of
Fame.
Barrett was the "Voice of Wimbledon" on the BBC from 1971-06. His wife,
former top-ranked player Angela Mortimer Barrett, was inducted into the
Hall in 1993. Agassi and Steffi Graf are the only other married couple
in the Hall.
Davenport wishes shed done a better job during her career of following
Billie Jean Kings advice to "enjoy the process." But shes proud that she
believes she always played the sport for the right reasons.
"Youre not great at something unless you love it," she said.
