US OPENAugust 28, 1997Lindsay DavenportU.S. OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP, Flushing Meadows, New York Q. Do you feel like you're playing your best tennis at this point? LINDSAY DAVENPORT: I think I'm playing pretty well. You know, I've been playing really consistently, consistently well the last couple weeks. So I don't quite know if it's my best, you know, I like to judge by best against the best players. But I think I'm playing very well. Q. You played one of the best players, Martina Hingis. LINDSAY DAVENPORT: I definitely played by best tennis this summer. This week I'm still kind of building into it. Hopefully I'll have some left next week. Q. Martina was recently asked about you. She said, you know, she didn't want to use the excuse she took a week off before you beat her, but do you feel like you can challenge her for the title here? LINDSAY DAVENPORT: I think there's a lot of players. I think -- I like playing Hingis. I don't mind playing her. When we've played, we've always had really long, close matches, three sets, six times. I definitely think I can challenge her if I got to that point. I think my main step is to keep winning these matches and to get there. Q. Have you gotten a chance to see Mirjana Lucic play at all? LINDSAY DAVENPORT: I haven't watched her play. She played the other night. I think we're on the same days. We played at the exact same time tonight. The other day I didn't see her play. I think she'll have a good match with Novotna. I'll watch that one. Q. Jana said she was actually staying over to scout her because very few people have actually seen her play. LINDSAY DAVENPORT: I think a lot of girls in the locker room are interested to see how she's played. She played on the outside courts. It's gotten so late, no one had a chance to watch her. I think a lot of girls will be watching probably Friday night, whenever they play. Q. I think Saturday. LINDSAY DAVENPORT: Saturday, excuse me. Might be Saturday night. Q. Does it give had her an advantage, like a pitcher that hitters haven't seen? LINDSAY DAVENPORT: I think so. I think the more you're on The Tour, the more players get to know what your strengths are, what your weaknesses are. Rights now no one knows. Right now they could hit it to her backhand all day long and that could be her favorite shot. We don't know where her favorite serve is on a big point. Those are things you learn over a long period of time. Q. Lindsay, actually you play in round three to Patty Schnyder. Tell me what you think about Patty Schnyder, what do you like to do to win this match? LINDSAY DAVENPORT: I think Patty Schnyder had a very good year, very good player, very good lefty. Pretty tough serve to get back, has a lot of spin. Good groundstrokes. I played her last week in Atlanta. I think I'll have to be very aggressive and take the ball on the rise, really move her around and be aggressive. Q. I mean, it's not fair to ask you, but I'll ask you. How big is the chance that Patty can defeat you? LINDSAY DAVENPORT: I don't know. I mean, if I don't play well, she has a chance to win. If I play well, her chance is reduced a lot.
