No Grand Slam for JJ this year. Jelena has been upset by 31st-seeded Kaia Kanepi 62 76(1) in the third round of the U.S. Open, last Grand Slam of the year.
Jelena, who pulled through her first two rounds of the 2010 US Open, winning 6-4 4-6 7-5 against Simona Halep and 6-4 3-6 6-2 against Mirjana Lucic, struggled with the wind at Arthur Ashe Stadium on Saturday, at one point hitting a serve so badly the ball flew straight up into the air. She had 41 unforced errors and just 13 winners.
"It was really hard to play in that wind, but she handled it a lot better than I did and she was the better player today, so congratulations to her," Jankovic said afterwards. "I didn't really have a chance to play my best tennis today and unfortunately now, I'm out of the tournament. But I'll keep working hard."
Maybe next year JJ...
