Lindsay Davenport has overcame a jammed right knee to beat Elena Dementieva 6-2, 6-4 in the Acura Classic semifinals and extended her winning streak to 13 consecutive matches.

Davenport will play for her third title in three weeks today, giving her a chance to equal her California slam of 1998. That's when she won titles at Stanford, Los Angeles and Carlsbad leading up to the U.S. Open, where she earned her first Grand Slam title.

She will meet French Open champion Anastasia Myskina, who outlasted 12th-seeded Vera Zvonareva 6-2, 6-7 (4), 7-6 (15), winning on her fifth match point.

Myskina ended Wimbledon champion Maria Sharapova's 14-match winning streak in the quarterfinals.
