True to the team

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.
