ZAGREB, Croatia (AP) - Ana Ivanovic beat Nika Ozegovic 7-5, 6-1 Sunday in reverse singles to give Serbia an insurmountable 3-0 lead against Croatia in the Fed Cup playoff tie.
Second-ranked Ivanovic _ who missed the opening singles on Saturday because of a viral infection _ struggled in the first set against Ozegovic, but then dominated in the second with powerful serves and crosscourt forehands.
On Saturday, Jelena Jankovic cruised to a 6-1, 6-2 victory over Ozegovic while Serbia's reserve Ana Jovanovic beat Jelena Kostanic-Tosic 6-4, 7-5.
Serbia will play in World Group II, while rival Croatia goes back to regional play.
