Lindsay Davenport, speaking after her 6-4, 6-2 victory over Aleksandra Wozniak, said this very well could be the final tournament of her impressive career.
"We'll have to see how I feel, if there is any motivation," she said.
She reiterated that her main reason for unretiring was to play in the Beijing Olympics and then follow up with this U.S. Open.
She did compete in the Olympic doubles, but pulled out of the singles because of a balky right knee. She said she's been dealing with knee issues for a while, but was pleased with how it has felt since the start of the Olympics.
As for her career, she again said her main focus will be on her family, which includes 1-year-old son named Jagger.
Someone asked her if she might be interested in playing long enough to enjoy a major victory with her son, but she just shook her head, side-to-side. Then she laughed.
"Honestly," she said, "the kid has no idea if I won or lost."
And that's not going to change for a few years...
