Davenport withdraws due to knee injury


WIMBLEDON, England - Lindsay Davenport has withdrawn from Wimbledon because of a knee injury.

The 1999 Wimbledon champion was due to play Gisela Dulko in the second round on Thursday, but withdrew hours before the match, a WTA Tour official said.

On Tuesday, in her first match at Wimbledon since 2005, Davenport hobbled past Renata Voracova 6-3, 5-7, 6-3.

The 32-year-old Davenport had been idle for two months after sitting out the clay-court season. She withdrew from a warmup tournament at Eastbourne last week.
