Ana Ivanovic is womens' champion, after a straight-sets over Dinara Safina in the final. Racing out of
the blocks, Ivanovic twice broke Safina to power away to a 4-1 lead in the first set. But then for a brief
period Ivanovic lost her way, twice surrendering her serve with a series of unforced errors to allow
Safina back into the match when it levelled at 4-4.
But just when Safina looked to be back in the contest, Ivanovic again hit her straps, breaking Safina
for the third time in the set and then holding serve to take the first set 6-4. The only break for the
second set was to come early, as Ivanovic cruised home to a 6-4 6-3 victory and take out her first
French Open title.
With Justine Henin's retirement opening up the number 1 ranking, Ivanovic now becomes the
top-ranked player, part of a remarkable rise in Serbian tennis. Novak Djokovic is Australian Open
mens' champion, while Ivanovic also now holds a grand slam title, with Jelena Jankovic remaining in
contention for future titles. And at just 21 years of age, is this the beginning of an Ivanovic dynasty?
