DUBAI:


Former world number one Jelena Jankovic of Serbia defeated US Open champion Sam Stosur of Australia 6-4, 6-2 to reach the semi-finals of the Dubai Tennis Championships. The eighth-seeded Jankovic was in control throughout the match as fourth-seed Stosur struggled with her serve.


The Australian seemed to rush her shots for much of the first set, hitting the ball early and returning it long and wide. Stosur broke Jankovic early in the second set, but the Serb broke right back and then pulled ahead 5-2 before wrapping up the match in one hour and 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, Agnieszka Radwanska beat Sabine Liscike 6-2, 6-1 to also march into the last-four.
