Ivanovic advances to 4th round at French Open

PARIS — Defending champion Ana Ivanovic made it through another easy match at the French Open, beating 32nd-seeded Iveta Benesova of the Czech Republic 6-0, 6-2 Friday to advance to the fourth round.

The eighth-seeded Ivanovic was taken to a tiebreaker in her opening match at Roland Garros, but she has lost only eight games since then.

Ivanovic won her only Grand Slam title at last year’s French Open. She lost in the final at Roland Garros in 2007.
