Williams, Davenport to skip SoCal tourney

CARSON, Calif. (AP) — Venus Williams and Lindsay Davenport withdrew Friday from next week's East West Bank Classic, with both citing right knee injuries. Williams hasn't played a tournament since defeating her younger sister Serena to win her fifth Wimbledon title earlier this month. Davenport's nagging right knee injury caused her to withdraw from a tournament for the fourth time in seven weeks. She is on the U.S. Olympic tennis team.
