Lindsay Davenport is back.

The veteran American tennis star defeated second-seeded Daniela Hantuchova in the final at the Bali Open on Sunday to claim her first singles title after an absence of almost a year.

Davenport, the tournament's 2005 champion, outlasted Hantuchova 6-4, 3-6, 6-2 in Nusa Dua, Indonesia.

In men's action Sunday, second-seeded Fernando Gonzalez captured the China Open with a 6-1, 3-6, 6-1 win over third-seeded Tommy Robredo in Beijing.

It was the first ATP title for the 27-year-old Chilean in nearly two years, since October 2005.

Davenport's victory capped a stirring week for the 31-year-old, who defeated top-seed Jelena Jankovic — ranked No. 3 in the world — and fifth-seed Eleni Daniilidou in her first action on the WTA Tour since September 2006.

Davenport, who was dogged by injuries before taking time off to have a baby in June, hadn't won a tournament in nearly two years.

"I'm a little bit in shock," she said. "It's just overwhelming and exciting. I swear this is probably the first tournament I've played in four years where I didn't have anything wrong with my lower extremities."

Davenport, who was teamed with Hantuchova in doubles, withdrew from the doubles semifinal Friday because of a left forearm strain.

The Chinese duo Ji Chunmei and Sun Shengnan defeated Jill Craybas of the United States and Natalie Grandin of South Africa 6-3, 6-2 to claim the doubles title.

Davenport gave birth to her first child — a son named Jagger — with husband and former tennis player Jon Leach on June 10.

Davenport has reached No. 1 in singles and doubles and won three Grand Slams and a gold medal at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.
