BALI, Indonesia, Sept. 11 (UPI) -- Lindsay Davenport, in her first singles match in a year, posted a straight-set upset Tuesday in the $225,000 Commonwealth Bank Tennis Classic in Indonesia.

Davenport next faces Julie Ditty, who was a 6-2, 6-1 winner in her first-round match with Hana Sromova.
Eighth-seeded Yaroslava Shvedova was routed by qualifier Meng Yuan, 6-0, 6-1, in another first-round upset.
Three seeded players managed to advance. No. 3 Patty Schnyder stopped Shuai Zhang, 6-4, 6-2; fourth-seeded Anabel Medina Garrigues beat Sandy Gumulyz, 6-1, 6-1; and No. 6 Martina Muller top Tatiana Poutchek, 6-3, 6-3.
Also winning Tuesday were Casey Dellacqua, Sara Errani, Sorana Cirstea and Ayumi Morita.
The winner of the Commonwealth Bank Tennis Classic will collect $32,340.
