Davenport downs Medina-Garrigues to reach last 16
NEW Y0RK (Reuters) - Second seed
Lindsay Davenport overcame a slow start to beat Spain's Anabel Medina-Garrigues 6-3 6-2 to reach the fourth round of the U.S. Open on Saturday.
The former champion dropped her serve in the opening game against the 32nd seed but broke back immediately. She broke again in the eighth game and then ripped through the second set to win in one hour nine minutes.
Davenport, the runner-up at the Australian Open and
Wimbledon this year, began loosely, spraying groundstrokes long as Medina-Garrigues forced break points in the seventh game.
But once the American had held for 4-3, she grew in confidence and clinched victory to set up a clash with Nathalie Dechy, the 15th seed from France.
