When it comes to tennis women, everyone may think of black athletes represented by legendary players, whose batting power is amazing.
Earlier, however, Lindsay Davenport, born June 8, 1976 in California, was also seen as the founder of the "aesthetics of violence" in women's tennis.
At the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, Davenport, who was only twenty years old, laughed to the end in the women's singles title competition with a number of good players including Ceres, Vicario, Fernandez and so on.
For a time, The American's distinctive power-type playing style instantly made her famous in the world women's tennis world.
So how violent is Davenport's play? In simple terms, her first shot as long as the calf is lifted indicates that she is going to score points.
At a height of 1.89 meters, Davenport on the court hardly runs much, of course, she does not need to run much, with the hard power of claiming to be "the first in the history of fishing for the ball", just attacking can stun opponents.
What's even more frightening is that unlike most violent play styles in today's tennis world, Davenport is clearly more disciplined, and the talent for ball sense clearly strengthens this technique.
In 1998, she beat the talented girl Singis to win her first Grand Slam title, and the following year, she beat Graf at Wimbledon to win a second Grand Slam.
However, after defeating Singis again in the 2000 Australian Open women's singles final to win the Daphne Cup for the first time, Davenport has never reached the top of the Grand Slam women's singles.
"Less fighting spirit" has become the biggest problem in front of the Americans, and some fans even complain that Davenport always seems to be in a hurry to rush home every game.
The 2005 Wimbledon women's singles final, considered by many fans to be the most classic game in women's tennis, was played by Davenport against two-time champion Williams.
The all-time-making match time and the number of fixtures deepened the results, and in the end, Dawei defeated the top seed 4-6, 7-6 (4), 9-7 by saving match points and winning.
Despite failing to set consecutive records on the Grand Slam stage, Davenport has won a total of 55 singles titles, including a year-end finals title.
The Americans in the doubles arena still perform well, and she has partnered with her teammates to win a total of 37 women's doubles titles, including the French Open, Wimbledon and the US Open.
The American, who topped the world number one in both singles and doubles, has undoubtedly had a successful career, and she was inducted into the Tennis Hall of Fame in 2012.
"Good times, don't always miss anyone", this is davenport's point of view to the media after many years of retirement, so do you remember the tennis legend who started an era? (Source: House of Tennis Author: Barbie)
