Jankovic adds her own touch to the Slovenia Open.
by bahamaderek on Jul.21, 2010, under Jelena Jankovic, Stefanie Voegele
Top seed Jelena Jankovic made it safely through to the second round of the Banka Koper Slovenia Open in Portoroz with a 6-3 6-3 victory over Serbian youngster Bojana Jovanovski.
But second seed Petra Kvitova was brought back to earth with a bump in her first match since her storming run to the Wimbledon semi-finals. The young Czech was beaten 7-5 6-2 by Switzerland’s Stefanie Voegele.
There were no such problems for her fellow high seeds, with third seed Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova easing past Alberta Brianti 7-5 6-1, and fourth seed and last year’s beaten finalist Sara Errani downing qualifier Anna Tatishvili 7-6 (7/1) 6-4.
Johanna Larsson was a surprise 7-6 (7/1) 6-2 winner over eighth seed and fellow Swede Sofia Arvidsson, but seventh seed Polona Hercog progressed with a 6-3 6-3 win over qualifier Elena Bovina.
