Lindsay Davenport cruised to her fourth Toray Pan Pacific Open with a convincing 6-4, 6-1 victory over Bulgarian Magdelena Maleeva on Sunday. Davenport needed less than an hour to walk away with the $189,000 first prize, exhibiting a crushing display of groundstrokes behind a consistently dominating first serve.
Modestly, Davenport credited the fast carpeted courts for much of her success. "I always play well here. The fast surface has helped me to win here four times and it definitely helps my serve and suits my groundstrokes," explained Davenport.
