Jelena Jankovic battled back from a set and a break down to beat Ana Ivanovic 4-6 6-4 6-1 and to win Serbian duel in the second round at Madrid Open.
JJ, who reached the final of the Rome last week defeating on her way Williams sisters, wasn't satisfied with her play yesterday.
"Overall, I am not really happy with the way that I played, but a win is a win," she said. "I had quite a lot of trouble in the first set and I didn't serve well and I wasn't really feeling the shots.
"I was quite a long way from where I was playing the past few weeks but then I just tried to stay as positive as possible."
Ana Ivanovic who had beaten two Top 10 players en route to the semifinals of Rome last week said:
"I've been practicing really well since coming here, playing even better than I did in Rome. Matches like this can happen. It was just hard to find my rhythm out there. I don't want this match to put me down, because I'm playing better tennis now and am feeling really confident again."
Jankovic will now meet Anabel Medina Garrigues in the third round.
