Jame's Blake's "Going" Problem

Maybe James Blake needs a prescription for Flomax. Apparently, he's got a bit of a "going" problem.

Let's explain.

Blake, along with Mike and Bob Bryan and some other members of the U.S. men's Olympic tennis team shared an apartment with women's team member Lindsay Davenport at the Olympic Village last week. Davenport was the only woman in the apartment.

The place had three bedrooms; one had its own bathroom, the other two shared a conjoined bathroom. At first, Davenport was in one of the rooms with a shared bath, but that quickly changed.

"James went to the bathroom, like, three times, in the middle of the night, turning the lights on," Davenport explained. "The next day I was like, 'There's no shot I'm staying here. I’m getting the bedroom with my own bathroom.'"

She did, but not without incurring the wrath of Blake & Co., who started bombarding here with practical jokes. Blake put a salami in her pillow, and other guys started throwing stuff in her toilet.

"Eventually, they got me to leave," Davenport said, with a laugh.

No hard feelings, of course. It was all in good fun.

"We had a great time," Davenport said. "(Blake is) a great guy."
