New mom Davenport moves into Bali final

Tennis Betting Lines

09/15/2007 - Bali, Indonesia (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Lindsay Davenport continued her remarkable ride in Bali on Saturday, cruising past Italian Sara Errani, 6-1, 6-3, in semifinal action at the $225,000 Commonwealth Bank Tennis Classic.

The three-time major champion became a new mom just three months ago, giving birth to son Jagger in June. She now can become a champion again, breezing into the finals on the heels of an emotional and surprising upset of world No. 3 Jelena Jankovic in a Friday quarterfinal.

The former world No. 1 will have another test to complete the storybook ride, as second-seeded Slovakian Daniela Hantuchova downed Romanian Sorana Cirstea 7-5, 6-1.

Yet, the story remains the 2005 Bali titlist, playing her first singles tennis since last September. After cruising through the first set, the American double faulted twice to drop the initial game of the second before storming back for the comfortable victory over Errani.

Hantuchova and Cirstea played a competitive opening set, squared at 5-5 before the second seed broke and served for the set. She again broke in the first game of the second set and rolled to victory.

This week's winner will collect $32,340.
