MADRID, Spain (Ticker) -- Top seed Lindsay Davenport of the United States appears ready for the French Open. Davenport downed Argentine qualifier Paola Suarez, 6-1, 6-3, today to win her first title in five months at $180,000 Yellow Pages Open. She cruised through the first set in just 21 minutes and closed out her 20th career tournament victory in a little under an hour. Competing in her first event in over a month due to a wrist injury, Davenport had not won a tournament since claiming the Sydney International at Australia in January. Today's triumph, which brought the American $27,000, was also her first at a claycourt event since winning at Amelia Island in 1997. "This is just what I needed," Davenport said. "I needed to win some matches ahead of the French and this is really more than I expected." Seeded second at next week's French Open, Davenport's victory should give her confidence going into her first-round encounter with countrywoman Jane Chi. The reigning U.S. Open champion was a semifinalist last year at Roland Garros. "I'm very excited to go on to Roland Garros after this victory," Davenport said. "I don't think I should be underestimated." Suarez, ranked No. 109 in the world, knocked off second seed Patty Schnyder on Wednesday and sixth seed Magui Serna on Thursday but fell short of winning her second career title. She faces Emilie Loit of France in the first round next week.
