Bali 2007:
    On Sunday in Bali, in the final of the Commonwealth Bank Classic, 31-year-old # 118 (and former # 1) Lindsay Davenport from Laguna Beach, California, defeated 25-year-old 2nd-seeded # 11 Daniela Hantuchova of Slovakia (residence: Monte Carlo, Monaco), 6-4, 3-6, 6-2 (Daniela is shown during the match, Lindsay with the goodies afterward).

    Lindsay said: "I certainly exceeded my expectations in how I'd play. I think a lot of it just had to do with being excited to be back out there and being fresh to play. But I would have never expected this to happen so soon." WTA story

    Daniela said: "I think I used the right tactics but it didn't work out. All the credit to [Lindsay] and how she was playing. She was serving great. Maybe I was trying for too much and that's where the errors started coming in. But against a player like that, you can't really afford to do that."

    Lindsay now leads Daniela 7-0 in career matches, although Daniela has taken Lindsay to three sets in four of their meetings.

    2005 Bali champ Lindsay now has a 52-36 record in WTA singles finals; she retired at the beginning of this season, and unretired this week, thus her match record for the year is 5-0.
    About her "post-retirement" plans, Lindsay said: "I hope to play Australia at the start of next year, but besides that I don't know what to expect. But I'm hopeful to play as much as I can next year."

    Daniela is now 2-5 in previous WTA singles finals finals, both her titles are Tier I, both were won at Indian Wells, this year and in 2002. Daniela's match record for 2007 is 39-22.
