Ana Ivanovic starts her campaign in Rome in style.
The world no. 13 has just conceded 2 games to Karin Knapp in less than 1 hour.
Both sets had just the same sequence with the Italian winning just the first game to then lose the following 6. Eventually Ana 52 points vs. Karin’s 27. .
Karin has now lost 8 consecutive matches, she doesn’t win a single set since March the 19th. It’s a tough one.
Next vs. Cornet.
Ana will play Alize Cornet in the following round. Head to head is 1 all and this will be their first match on clay court.
