NEWPORT, R.I. -- Lindsay Davenport remembers picking up a tennis racket as a child and the feeling that came with the ease of a powerful return. After giving up on two other sports, she found something she liked.
On Saturday, she reached her sport's highest honor, with her induction into the International Tennis Hall of Fame.
Davenport spent 98 weeks ranked No. 1. She won the 1998 U.S. Open, 1999 Wimbledon, 2000 Australian Open and 1996 Olympic gold medal to go with three major doubles titles. She finished the end of four years ranked No. 1.
Chris Evert was among those at the ceremony. The tennis great described Davenport's game as "so loud, so strong and aggressive."
