Jelena Jankovic defetead Sara Errani 2-6 7-6 (8-6) 6-4 in a third round of the BNP Paribas Open after two hours and 49 minutes.

JJ made 57 unforced errors, compared to Errani’s 42. Errani was just two points away from victory at 6-all in the second set tie-break and even had four points for a 5-2 third set lead; but it wasn't to be. Jankovic hit a winner on match point and dropped to the court.

"It was a tough match, not just physically but mentally too. She played really well," Jankovic said. "I wasn't playing consistently the whole time. I'd play a couple of points well but then would give away a lot of points too.

"When I was down 4-2 in the third, and 0-40 to go down 5-2, it was really a battle out there. Almost two breaks... I just tried to stay positive as much as I could. I just tried to fight for every point and keep going. I'm happy to win."

"I need these kinds of matches," Jankovic added. "It has been a while since I've played a lot of matches, and I think winning these kinds of matches can give you a lot of confidence. The more I play, the better I'll get. So I'm happy I was able to get through this match and get another chance tomorrow."
