Radwanska, Ivanovic find form, progress to next round
Print Edition
Poland’s Ursula Radwanska took advantage of Jelena Jankovic’s poor serving for a 6-2, 4-6, 6-3 victory on Thursday in the second round of the Southern California Open in Carlsbad, California.
The sixth-seeded Jankovic, from Serbia, had seven double faults and was successful on only 59 percent of her first serves as Radwanska advanced to the quarterfinals against top-seeded Victoria Azarenka.
Radwanska’s sister, Agnieszka, moved into the quarterfinals with a 6-3, 6-3 victory over Daniela Hantuchova of Slovakia. Radwanska, the No. 2 seed, will face fifth-seeded Sam Stosur in the next round.
Seventh-seeded Ana Ivanovic of Serbia was pushed early before she settled down to beat qualifier Coco Vandeweghe 7-6 (5), 6-3 win in a night match.
Vandeweghe won five consecutive points to take a 5-2 lead in the first set tiebreaker. Ivanovic then reeled off the final five points, including a cross-court forehand winner to win the set.
Ivanovic jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the second set before needing four match points to advance to the quarterfinals against fourth-seeded Roberta Vinci.
In Washington DC, Juan Martin del Potro recorded a quick 6-1, 7-5 victory over American Ryan Harrison in a match postponed from Wednesday by rain, then returned to the court shortly after to defeat Australian Bernard Tomic 6-3, 6-3.
