Ana Ivanovic (EZONE DR 98) is into the third round in women’s singles, defeating Kurumi Nara of Japan in two sets. The Serb demonstrated fierce aggression from the get-go, rushing to a 3-0 lead. While Ana faced a mild challenge on the part of her opponent, she kept her edge over Nara, taking the first set with a forehand winner. She proceeded to dominate in the second half of the match, winning 7-5, 6-1.
