Jankovic’s left shoe broke! Still, she secured her place in the second round beating Slovakian Jarmila Gajdosova 6-2, 7-6. The Serb struggled on the opening day of the US Open and the last thing she needed was this shoe problem!

“I got tight at the end, but I managed to kind of recuperate and do my best as much as I can and finish the match. Because also I broke somehow my shoe. My shoe broke at the end of the first set. I kind of lost my concentration a bit because I was thinking, you know, what am I going to do if this shoe completely wears out? Can I play barefoot? What am I supposed to do (laughter)?

“It was a little bit — it was difficult. The trainer came out. I didn’t even know if she was allowed to come if the shoe breaks because that’s not a medical timeout.

“She helped me. She put some glue, which she stuck my sock to the sole, so I had some other problem there. I managed to get through everything and win the match.

Fortunately, Maria Sharapova’s glamorous US Open dresses are still intact. (via Tennis Served Fresh)
