Lindsay Davenport won her opening match yesterday in the Pacific Life Open and
Maria Sharapova and Martina Hingis joined her in the third round of the
rain-delayed tournament.
Sharapova, the No. 3 seed, beat Jamea Jackson of the United States 6-4, 6-3
and Hingis, making a comeback after three years in retirement, was a 6-1, 6-3
winner over Camille Pin of France.
Hingis, seeded 19th, is a possible fourth-round opponent for No. 2 seed
Davenport.
Sharapova and Davenport could meet in a rematch of last year's semifinal that
Davenport won 6-0, 6-0.
Davenport, 29, finished her match early in the afternoon by beating Ashley
Harkleroad 6-0, 6-0 before rain forced a three-hour, 41-minute delay of the
men's first-round and women's second-round matches.
