MOSCOW, Oct. 9 (UPI) -- World No. 1 Jelena Jankovic rallied Thursday to claim a second-round victory at the $1.34 million Kremlin Cup tennis tournament in Moscow.
Jankovic committed five double faults in dropping the first set of her match with Vera Dushevina and had to deal with an onslaught of 12 aces from Dushevina before escaping with a 6-7 (6-8), 6-3, 6-2 win. Jankovic has won her last two tournaments, a spurt that returned her to the No. 1 ranking Monday.
