The Serbian hurt her forearm midway through the second set but fought on to seal a 6-2 7-6 (7/5) win against Marina Erakovic and set up a clash with 28th seed Dominika Cibulkova.

Slovakia's Cibulkova had earlier defeated Milagros Sequera 6-3 6-0 in 53 minutes on Court Five.

Eighth seed Venus Williams was also an early winner in overcast conditions on the fifth day, beating Tunisia's Selima Sfar 6-2 6-4.

The American took the opening set at the first time of asking in 35 minutes but had more trouble in the second.

She was broken in the fifth game to go 3-2 down and then squandered a clutch of break points of her own before eventually succeeding to draw level at 3-3.

Williams moved 5-4 ahead and then broke again to clinch the match.

She will next play 26th seed Flavia Pennetta, the Italian who beat Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova 3-6 6-1 6-1.

Elsewhere, unseeded Czech Iveta Benesova, a qualifier, beat Shuai Peng 6-4 6-3 to go through to the third round.

Seventh seed Elena Dementieva continued her serene progress in Paris by sweeping aside Marta Domachowska, of Poland, 6-1 6-4. Other winners on Thursday were 32nd seed Karin Knapp, of Italy, and the Czech Republic's Petra Kvitova.
