Jankovic reaches semifinals in Doha
DOHA, Qatar — Jelena Jankovic advanced to the semifinals of the WTA Sony Ericsson Championships on Friday after routing a tired Caroline Wozniacki 6-2, 6-2 in the last group-stage round.
The former top-ranked Serb broke twice in the first set and then took a 4-0 lead in the second.
Wozniacki won two grueling three-set matches on Wednesday and Thursday and looked like she had simply run out of energy in the hot weather, often a step slow and failing to chase down balls.
The 19-year-old Dane can still advance if Victoria Azarenka loses to alternate Agnieszka Radwanska later Friday.
Jankovic lost to Azarenka in her first match, then won her second when the injured Dinara Safina retired in the third game.
