Ana Ivanovic fought from a set down to dump ninth seed Victoria Azarenka out of the Cincinnati Open on Monday night. She beat Azarenka 2-6 7-6 (8/6) 6-2 and will take on Yaroslava Shvedova in the second round after her 7-5 6-4 victory over Alla Kudryavtseva.
Vika was two points from winning the match three times in the second set but Ana fought back to beat her.
"The crowd helped me so much. It was so great to see a lot of young kids," Ivanovic said. "It's my biggest win since Rome. Rome was a great week for me, but this victory means a lot. She just came off a title, but also the way the match was progressing, the last few weeks I was losing matches like this.
"It's good to see that hanging in there gives the good results."
Vika said: "I'm sure I can come up with better tennis, because today was a little bit of a disaster. I have to improve. I have another tournament before the Open and I'm definitely going to work hard to bring my A-game there.
"I wish Ana good luck the rest of the tournament."
