Lindsay out of Cup
LINDSAY Davenport's Australian Open campaign is in doubt after the world No. 1's shock withdrawal from the Hopman Cup.
Davenport will miss the round-robin event in Perth starting on New Year's Day after re-injuring her troublesome right knee during an exhibition match in the US last week.
Her manager Tony Godsick notified Hopman Cup director Paul McNamee, forcing organisers to scramble for an 11th-hour replacement.
World No. 40 Meghann Shaughnessy will join compatriot James Blake, who last year partnered Davenport in the US team which won the $1 million event.
Davenport's camp remains confident the hard-hitting Californian will be fit for next month's Australian Open.
But the American is in a race against the clock with only three weeks and one other tournament before the first ball is hit in anger at Melbourne Park. Her only chance to gain match practice for the event will be at the Sydney International, beginning on January 9.Davenport suffered the injury during a 7-5, 6-3 loss to Wimbledon champion Maria Sharapova in Baltimore last week. McNamee said the 2000 Australian Open winner waited until the last possible moment before cancelling her trip to
Perth.
"She's decided to have some more treatment and take another week to get over it," he said.
Davenport has battled constant knee problems since undergoing arthroscopic surgery in 2002 and spending nine months on crutches.
Earlier this year she revealed she was battling a degenerative cartilage problem that could end her career at any moment.
It did not affect her 2004 form as she finished as the top-ranked female player for the third time.
Her imposing 61-8 win-loss record included seven titles and a 22-match winning streak during the US summer.
The US remains the Hopman Cup's second seed behind Russia's star pairing of Marat Safin and Anastasia Myskina.
Australia, represented by Alicia Molik and Mark Philippoussis, is seeded sixth.
