Defending champion Ana Ivanovic beat seed No.32 Iveta Benesova of the Czech Republic 6-0 6-2 to advance to the fourth round of the French Open.
The eighth-seeded Serb was taken to a tiebreaker in the first set she played at this year’s Roland Garros, but since then she has lost only eight games.
Ivanovic will play either ninth seed Victoria Azarenka or 22nd-seeded Carla Suarez Navarro in the fourth round. (photo: Ralf Reinecke)
sheeess baaaaaaaaaaackkkk!
do you agree? i hope she wins, shes my new favourite player!!! haha
I’m really happy for her! she deserves to do a good tournment here!!! I also hope she makes well, but now, next round!
I’m still celebrating round by round, my expectations are still modest.
Venus Williams is out. 29th seeded Agnes Szavay beat her 6-0, 6-4.
I’m not that surprise since I know Szavay is a great clay court player with wins over top players in the past, but I did not expect a bagel set over Venus. Venus was definitely making a lot of unnecessary unforced errors.
Also, they will meet again this afternoon in doubles. Agnes Szavay/Gisela Dulko against the Williams sisters.
