Jankovic bagles, Navarro rebagles

Jelena Jankovic continued her excelent form on the clay courts of Andalucia with an easy victory over tunisian Selima Sfar 6:3 6:0. Jankovic started confusingly and got broken in her first service game and sfar led 2:0. Jelena tried to comeback imediatly but her entusiasm was stoped by Sfar as she used short balls to suprise her opponent and win her next service game as she led 3:1. But then the serbian tennis player started playing amazing tennis using her backhand and forehand very aggresively and making alot winners. She didn`t waste much time as she made 5 consecutive games to win the first set 6:3. This prooved vitaly as Sfar didn`t have nay will to continue allowing Jankovic to bagle her for the second set and win it 6:0. Jelena secured a quaterfinal spot against italian spoiler Roberta Vinci. She has defeated in the first round Tsvetana Pironkova from Bulgaria in 3 sets 6:7(4) 6:2 6:4 and then she continued with the suprises defeating Nicole Vaidisova 6:3 6:3.


Carla Suarez Navarro won her second round match against gutsy russian qualifier Ekatetirna Ivanova 0:6 6:3 6:0. Ivanova started very aggresively and broke freely to bagle the homegirl infront of the spanish crowd. She used her forehand very well and done alot winners. Navarro then got on bigger tempo and started play much more aggresively and started catching those short balls that were horrifying for her in the first set. The second set was an onesided afair although it was the set with the most games of the whole match. Ekaterina started making alot mistakes from both swings and that proved vitaly as Suarez Navarro won it 6:3. In the break Ivanova called her coach and seemingly she was disapointed with her game in the second but he said that she must not be sad if she loses as Navarro is in great form. Ivanova then started playing freely but it was just not her match as she got baggled and let Navarro go infront.
