Lindsay Davenport, playing in her first WTA tournament since the 2008 U.S. Open, has won the doubles title in the 2010 Bank of the West Classic at Stanford, California, USA, on Sunday afternoon.
She teamed up with Liezel Huber and defeated Yung-Jan Chan and Jie Zheng in the final Aug. 1, 7-5, 6-7 (8), (10-8).
Playing together for just the second time since teaming up for a quarterfinal showing at the 2008 Olympics, Davenport and Huber padded their impressive career doubles marks with the victory. Davenport has now won 38 career doubles titles overall while Huber has claimed 43 career championships.
The win gave Huber her fourth title of the season and cemented her return to No. 1 in the doubles rankings, while Davenport took her first doubles title since Memphis in 2008. The duo will also play together in the WTA Mercury Insurance Open in San Diego, California, USA Aug. 2-8.
One has to admit, Davenport is a smart player. If you are playing in your first tournament in almost two years, team up with the current No. 1 doubles player. It should help your chances in the tournament.
