Los Angeles - A second pregnancy could mark the end of the tennis career of Lindsay Davenport after the 32-year-old withdrew from the Australian Open over her good news.

The announcement could have been a surprise for the mother-to-be after the three-time Grand Slam champion decided only a week ago to prepare for an entry next month into the Australian Open.

Davenport gave birth to son Jagger in 2007, saying at the time that she had retired. But she then reversed her decision, returning to tennis three months later and lifting two WTA titles in the autumn and another pair at the start of 2008.

The leg-spin king is far from being a traitor - in retirement he can say and do what he wants - but it is obvious Smith listened breathlessly to every Warne word and some of his advice has worked spectacularly.

Warne is renowned for being generous with his knowledge and has helped spin bowlers from all over the world, even when they are in competition with Australia.
