Ivanovic demolishes Larsson in Auckland.

That was rather quick!

Ana Ivanovic is in great form to concede just a couple of games to world no.84 Johanna Larsson. The Serbian beauty played a truly great tennis from the very beginning to give just nothing to her opponent.

The match ended after 43 minutes and Ana won 51 points vs. Johanna’s 27.

Ana: I felt good with my timing and rhythm

The world no.16 was quite pleased by “I was really happy, I didn’t do much wrong out there. I came on court quite relaxed and expected a tough match because we’d had close matches in the past.

“I tried to be aggressive, step up and try to put pressure on her serve and also my first shots and I did that really well. I honestly didn’t expect that and when I stepped on the court for the first few games I let my swing go and I felt good with my timing and rhythm.”

Next vs. Kurumi Cara

Ana will play world no.81 Kurumi Cara in the quarters. This would be the first match between these two.
