Davenport, Sharapova in Pan Pacific final
Top-ranked Lindsay Davenport had seven aces in a straight-sets victory over Svetlana Kuznetsova on Saturday to advance to the final of the Pan Pacific Open, a tournament she has won four times.
Davenport will face Wimbledon champion Maria Sharapova in Sunday's final. The second-seeded Sharapova was a 6-1, 7-6 (3) winner over Japan's Shinobu Asagoe.
"I started off well and she made a few errors," Davenport said. "I was able to serve well in the second set. The surface here suits my game, and I think that was the difference."
Davenport trailed 3-1 in the second set, but broke Kuznetsova's serve twice before winning in the tiebreaker.
"I didn't take advantage of my chances," Kuznetsova said. "I made too many errors and you can't play like that and expect to win against a player like Lindsay."
