LA JOLLA, California: Former world No 1 Lindsay Davenport could not recall a more one-sided loss after being outplayed 6-1, 7-5 by German teenager Sabine Lisicki in a Fed Cup world group first-round tie on Saturday.
Lindsay Davenport of the United States, reaches out for a backhand shot during her match against Germany's Sabine Lisicki in the quarterfinals of the Fed Cup tennis tournament held at the La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club in San Diego, Saturday, Feb. 2, 2008. [Agencies]Back in Fed Cup action for the first time in almost three years, Davenport struggled with her movement around the court and with her opponent's big serve as she lost the opening singles match of the two-day tie in 85 minutes.
"Obviously I'm disappointed with the way I went out there and played," the 31-year-old American told reporters after her run of 19 consecutive victories in Fed Cup singles matches was snapped by a player ranked 130th in the world.
"But at the same time, she played very well and that had a lot to do with it. I don't know what else to say.
"I'm going to try to work my best to come out there tomorrow and play a lot better and hopefully be a little bit more on top of my shots. I have a hard time remembering the last time that a match went so one-sided against me."
Davenport, who had previously won 25 of 27 singles matches in the team competition, was swept aside by the 18-year-old German in the opening set but led 5-2 in the second before the momentum again shifted.
