Jankovic broke Petrova’s first and last service game to win the first set 6-4. Petrova had only break-chance but she could not convert the game in to her advantage.

In the second set the match was even more one-sided and soon Jankovic was leading 5-1. Petrova could take three games and the 8th game was Petrova’s best one so far but she found her good form a little too late. On 40-30 Jankovic turned her second matchpoint into a winner after Petrova could retrieve good shots from Jankovic but failed to win the last one.

After beating the Russian No. 1 seed 6-4, 6-3 Jankovic will meet the 8th seed Russian player Lina Krasnoroutskaya.
