Davenport upsets Ivanovic Still gaining momentum in her career comeback after becoming a parent, Lindsay Davenport upset second-ranked Ana Ivanovic of Serbia 6-4, 6-2 in the third round at the Sony Ericsson Open on Sunday in Key Biscayne, Fla.

Davenport, 31, left the women's tour in late 2006 to have her first child, then returned last summer. The three-time Grand Slam champion is 17-3 this year, with two titles, and the victory over Ivanovic might be her most impressive yet.

Ivanovic, 20, was the Australian Open runner-up, but her game unraveled against Davenport, who broke serve six times.

"She played like a top-10 player easily today," Ivanovic said. "I must say I haven't played against many players who can return so well and so deep, so she puts a lot of pressure on my serve."

Davenport next will play No. 13 Dinara Safina, who rallied past No. 18 Sybille Bammer 4-6, 6-1, 6-0.

Serena and Venus Williams also reached the fourth round, as did top-seeded Justine Henin. Four-time champion Serena Williams had the toughest time, overcoming 60 unforced errors and a 3-0 deficit in the second set to beat No. 27 Flavia Pennetta 6-7 (6), 6-3, 6-2.

On the men's side, No. 2 Rafael Nadal never faced a break point and beat Nicolas Kiefer 6-2, 6-4. No. 9 James Blake outlasted Fabrice Santoro 6-3, 6-7 (4), 6-4.

Galindo, who entered the game in the 55th minute as a substitute for forward Atiba Harris, fired a shot from 17 yards away that went through the legs of FC Dallas goalkeeper Dario Sala and into the center of the net.

Juan Toja scored for FC Dallas (0-0-1) in the 21st minute.
