Samantha Stosur has snapped Jelena Jankovic’s eight-match winning streak to advance to the quarter-finals of the lucrative Miami Open.
The 10th-ranked Stosur had never previously taken a set from Jankovic, but outclassed the Serb 6-1 7-6(9) in their fourth career meeting on Tuesday.
Stosur’s impressive fourth-round victory also reversed a 6-2 6-4 semifinal loss to the eighth-ranked Jankovic just last week at Indian Wells.
In a marquee match featuring two of the tour’s hottest players, Stosur broke Jankovic in the second and seventh games to race through the opening set in just 27 minutes.
Stosur, who also made the quarterfinals last year in Miami, next plays US Open champion Kim Clijsters for a place in the last four of the USD$4.5 million event.
