The 28-year-old Davenport played virtually errorless tennis throughout the 47-minute contest to win her third consecutive hardcourt title over three weeks on her native California soil.

It is the second time that Davenport has won the Stanford Classic, the JP Morgan Chase title at Carson and the San Diego tournament in succession after pulling off the same feat in 1998, when she went on to win the US Open.

"It has just been a phenomenal summer so far," said Davenport, who will jump two spots to the No 2 ranking on Monday after claiming her fifth title of the year.

"I'm just so grateful I've been able to play and stay healthy. I've just really enjoyed it and hope I can keep it going for another few weeks in the through the Open."

The American has now won 14 consecutive matches.

Davenport stunned Serena Williams last week to win in Carson and the previous week she beat Venus Williams for the first time since 2000 in a hard-fought three-set contest to clinch the Bank of the West Classic title in Stanford.

Despite playing with a bandage on her sore right kneecap, three-time Grand Slam winner Davenport completely controlled the San Diego final against the 23-year-old Russian.

After fighting off nine match points to win a 2-1/2 hour semi-final over Vera Zvonareva late on Saturday, Myskina was unable to muster the energy she needed when she came back on court only 14 hours later against Davenport.

"I'm sorry I couldn't fight but I was very tired from last night," she said.

"I'm really exhausted, I just couldn't find a way to fight."

With the victory, Davenport is expected to move up to second in the world when the new rankings come out on Monday, behind Belgium's Justine Henin-Hardenne, who has not played since late May due to a lingering virus.

The American will not play again until New Haven, which is held the week before the US Open.
