Lindsay Davenport

World No.1 Lindsay Davenport defeated unseeded Serbian Jelena Jankovic on Saturday to win the Dubai Duty Free Women's Open. Davenport held on for a 6-4, 3-6, 6-4 win, securing the 46th title of her career and first of 2005.

"It was very tight. I never knew what was going to happen," said Davenport. "But I played a great point at 4-all when I was down break point. It was a really long rally and I came up with some great shots in that rally and that really saved me."

The doubles title went to top-ranked Virginia Ruano Pascual and Paola Suarez who secured their 27th trophy as a team with a 6-7(7), 6-2, 6-1 win over No.2 seeds and new Australian Open champions Svetlana Kuznetsova and Alicia Molik.
