Ana Ivanovic reaches final and takes top spot

Jelena Jankovic goes into the French Open semi-final against fellow Serb Ana Ivanovic with both form and fitness weighing heavily against her.
After Dinara Safina had beaten Svetlana Kuznetsova in the first semi-final, it meant that the winner of the Serbian clash would be guaranteed the top the rankings after the tournament.

Ivanovic just edged out her countrywoman in a back-and-forth contest that really could have gone either way.

Both players produced spells of wonderful tennis but rarely at the same time which led to periods of domination after different times during the match.
