Davenport pulls out of tennis singles


Former Olympic tennis champion Lindsay Davenport has pulled out of the Beijing singles tournament with a knee injury, a US official said on Friday.

The 1996 gold medalist has been struggling with the problem since it forced her to withdraw from Wimbledon.

Davenport remains in the doubles competition where she will partner Liezel Huber, he added.

The 32-year-old former world number one had spoken about her knee problem, without announcing a pull-out.

She returned to the circuit in September after giving birth to a baby boy, Jagger, last June.
