We thought that Sybille Bammer was only the mother of our hearts, but it turns out that she is one of only three mothers (of children, not hearts) on the WTA Tour (one, Rossana De Los Rios, was blown out by Venus Williams today, and the other is Lindsay Davenport).

Her seven-year-old daughter, Tina, is known for telling tennis fans to be quiet "because Mummy is concentrating."

Bammer, as everyone knows, yesterday moved on to the third round, where she will face Tatiana Perebiynis. If all goes according to the Lord's plan and Bammer is triumphant, she could very well play Davenport in an improbable Battle of the Moms in the Round of 16.

Lindsay Davenport "felt it was a little bit tough for me to get much rhythm" as she moved on to the third round in straight sets, 7-5, 6-3, experiencing some difficulty from Alisa Kleybanova along the way. Davenport "didn't feel like it was very pretty tennis," and she was right. She didn't ever seem really comfortable during play, and though she won a huge percentage of points on her first serve, the percentage of first serves that went in was just over 50%. If she can get more consistency on her serve, she may provide a great match against her first seeded opponent yet this tournament, 12th-seeded Marion Bartoli.  read more »
