Davenport thinks Sharapova, Azarenka could make WTA Finals

LONDON (AP) Maria Sharapova has only played three tournaments since returning from her doping ban, but Hall of Famer Lindsay Davenport still won’t rule out the possibility of the Russian star qualifying for the WTA Finals.

And Wimbledon is only the second event for Victoria Azarenka since returning from having a baby – yet Davenport gives her a chance to be in Singapore for the season-ending championships from Oct. 22-29, too.

Only eight women qualify for the event, based on results during this year.

”I would never count out Sharapova or Azarenka from anything,” said Davenport, announced this week as a ”legend ambassador” for the WTA Finals.
