Davenport wins but misses semi spot

Lindsay Davenport (pictured) shook off a lethargic first set to storm past Serena Williams 3-6 7-5 6-1 in the season-ending WTA Tour Championships at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

But despite the loss, Williams clinched a semi-final berth from the Red Group, even though she finished with the same 2-1 record as Davenport, having won one more set during her three matches.
