MANHATTAN BEACH, California (Ticker) -- Defending champion Lindsay Davenport will meet Chanda Rubin in an All-American final of the $585,000 JP Morgan Chase Open on Sunday.

The third-seeded Davenport has rediscovered her form after a seven-month layoff, cruising past Ai Sugiyama of Japan, 6-3, 6-4 Saturday in the semifinals.

The 26-year-old Davenport is gunning for her fourth career Manhattan Beach hardcourt title.

Rubin, the 12th seed, crushed No. 4 Jelena Dokic of Yugoslavia, 6-0, 6-2 on Saturday.

Davenport underwent knee surgery in January and was sidelined until July, when she made her 2002 debut at the Fed Cup. Since then, the three-time Grand Slam titlist reached semifinals in consecutive weeks at Stanford and San Diego before advancing to the championship match here.

Davenport raised her record on the WTA Tour this year to 9-2 and is 8-2 in her career against Rubin.

Rubin upset world No. 1 and top seed Serena Williams in the quarterfinals, snapping the 21-match winning streak of the reigning French Open and Wimbledon champion.

Rubin moved into her third final of the year, having won the Eastbourne grasscourt title.

The top prize is $93,000.
