And Jelena Jankovic finally did it! JJ defeated Carla Suarez Navarro 6-3 3-6 6-3 in a little over two hours and fifteen minutes to win Andalucia Tennis Experience and to claim her first title of the season.
"I know I have not been playing well the last three months but this win has given me back the confidence I need," Jelena said at a news conference.
This was JJ's 10th career singles title on the Tour, and fifth on clay, beginning with her first ever title at Budapest in 2004. She has also collected large titles on the dirt at Charleston (2007) and Rome (2007 and 2008).
“The tournament has been wonderful, with a great location, the beach close by, ideal temperature and an audience that was fantastic at all times. I hope to come back next year” said JJ after the match.
Carla Suarez, who played her first final in the Sony Ericsson WTA tour said: “Despite of my defeat I leave this tournament very satisfied; listening to all the audience cheer my name was an incredible experience”.
Congrats JJ, it's good to see you back!
