Davenport announces return to Aussie Open


Three-time Grand Slam champion Lindsay Davenport announced that she will return to the Tour at the 2009 Australian Open, after not playing a tournament since the U.S Open in August.

The 32-year-old American took a break from the Tour after giving birth to a boy named Jagger, in June 2007.

"We are really excited that she has entered," tournament director Craig Tiley said Thursday. "She is a world-class player and a great ambassador for our sport."

Davenport won the Australian Open in 2000, as well as the U.S Open in 1998 and Wimbledon in 1999.
