Davenport withdraws from WimbledonWimbledon, England (Sports Network) - Lindsay Davenport was forced to withdraw from Wimbledon because of a nagging knee injury. The 1999 champion at the All England Club also withdrew from the Wimbledon tuneup in Eastbourne because of the problem, then survived a first-round match against the Czech Republic's Renata Voracova with a 6-3, 5-7, 6-3 triumph. Davenport needed medical attention during Tuesday's match.
Gisela Dulko was scheduled to face Davenport on Thursday, and the walkover win
advances the Argentine into the third round. Davenport had missed Wimbledon the past two years -- in 2006 because of injury and last year because she was pregnant. In addition to her title in 1999, she was also the runner-up in 2000 and 2005.
