QUEBEC CITY, Oct 31 (AFP): American Lindsay Davenport made the most of her wild card invitation with a 6-3, 6-3 victory over seventh seed Angelique Kerber in the 175,000-dollar WTA Bell Challenge Tuesday.
Davenport, A three-time Grand Slam champion, is playing in her third tournament of the year after taking nearly a year off for the birth of her son, Jagger, in June.
Motherhood seems to agree with the 31-year-old, who returned to the court in September at Bali and won her 52nd career title.
She then reached the semi-finals in Beijing.
Davenport, facing the 19-year-old Kerber of Germany for the first time, encountered little resistance.
