Tennis: Ivanovic reaches 4th round at Wimbledon


Associated Press

WIMBLEDON, England— Former No. 1 Ana Ivanovic has advanced to the fourth round at Wimbledon by defeating French Open semifinalist Samantha Stosur 7-5, 6-2.

Ivanovic has dropped to 12th in the rankings but looked back to her fist-pumping best Saturday on a sun-drenched Court 2.
The 19th-ranked Stosur sought to attack Ivanovic at the net but was done in by unforced errors and the Serb’s quickness.
Stosur saved a match point in the seventh game, but Ivanovic wrapped it up in the eighth with a big serve the Australian could not return.
