Serbian tennis player Ana Ivanovic continued to show up in your game to reach the third round of U.S. Open.
Ivanovic, 40 of the world rankings but former world number one, won easily 6-3, 6-0 against China's Zheng Jie, seeded 21 in the contest, after adding 22 winners in just 56 minutes match in Arthur Ashe Stadium, said Reuters.
This is the first time this year that the former French Open champion reached the third round of a Grand Slam.
In 2009, losing to Kateryna Bondarenko in the first round of U.S. Open, Ivanovic was left out of the top 20 ranking.
However, the Serb has recently shown encouraging signs, reaching the semifinals of Cincinnati, where he was forced to withdraw with a sore foot.
Zheng had no answer to the power of Ivanovic, shown in a number of series winners, especially the right.
"I remember a couple of years ago was here and I'm told that although the world number one I was not playing like a number one," Ivanovic told reporters.
'But now I'm playing like a top 10 player, I have confidence that I can beat these players. That is great for me, "he said.
Ivanovic now expects to France's Virginie Razzano, who defeated compatriot Marion Bartoli, seeded 13, 7-5, 6-4.
