ZURICH, Switzerland (AP) -- Martina Hingis and American Lindsay Davenport won their semifinal matches in straight sets Saturday, setting up a clash of the world's top two players Sunday in the final of the Swisscom Challenge.

Top-ranked Hingis, trying to win a singles title for the first time on home soil, defeated sixth-seeded American Jennifer Capriati 6-3, 6-2. World No. 2 Davenport, making a comeback from injury, routed Austria's Barbara Schett 6-2, 6-1, leaving her poised to win her third title in Zurich.

``I've won tournaments before but I guess it's a little different here,'' said the 20-year-old Hingis, who has 32 singles titles. ``But I keep thinking I've done this before, I won a title just last week.

``I've been taking this tournament very relaxed and I think it's been my best year here so far.''

Davenport, back from a three-week layoff after a sore foot forced her to default from the Sydney Olympics, has gone undefeated her last 20 matches in Switzerland. Since losing her debut match in the tiny Alpine nation in the first round in Lucerne in 1992, Davenport went on to win her first career title there the next year and repeated in 1994. She also won in Zurich title in 1997 and 1998.

``We've never played each other in Switzerland before, but obviously tomorrow she'll be fired up because it's in her own backyard and she's never won here,'' Davenport said. ``She definitely wants to win here and I'm trying not to lose here.

``I don't know the reason she hasn't. It's one of the few tournaments she hasn't won.''

Hingis, despite living nearby the Schluefweg Arena, hasn't enjoyed much of a home court advantage in her five previous appearances.

It was at the Zurich tournament that Hingis, just 14 years old at the time, made her professional debut six years ago. But the Swiss star has only reached the finals twice, losing both times in straight sets: 6-2, 6-2 to Czech Jana Novotna in 1996 and 6-3, 6-4 to American Venus Williams last year.

But if her play so far is any indication, Hingis could finally attain the elusive Swiss trophy, having won all of her matches in straight sets en route to the final.

Davenport leads 11-8 in their head-to-head meetings, but Hingis had the last word. After winning five straight matches against Hingis, Davenport surrendered to the Swiss star in the final in Miami in March the last time they met.
