When the updated rankings are released, Ana Ivanovic will be the first Serbian to achieve the number 1
ranking. Ivanovic accumulated sufficient points to guarantee she will overtake Maria Sharapova when
she defeated compatriot Jelena Jankovic; but was made to fight for it by a determined Jankovic who took
out the second set to force the match to a deciding set. But the third set saw Ivanovic score the
all-important service break to take the set 6-4 and progress through to Saturday's final.
Ivanovic's opponent in the final will be Russia's Dinara Safina, after a comfortable straight-sets win over
Svetlana Kuznetsova.
