This tournament seems to be a sort of “low hanging fruit” for Jelena Jankovic.
After the early departure of Sloane Stephens the Serbian is the hot favourite to defend her title in Bogota.
In her second match she has spent 89 minutes to defeat world no. 215 Sofia Shapatava 6-4 6-3.
Jelena will now play the quarters against world no.182 Lara Arruabarrena-Vecino. Head to head is 1-0 for Jankovic.
