21 January 2009
Ivanovic struggled with her serve for large parts of her 6-3 6-2 win against Italian qualifier Alberta Brianti. But coupled with her regular forays to the net and Brianti's unforced errors she was able to negotiate her way to a third-round clash against Russian Alisa Kleybanova.
Jankovic was also relieved to have made it through after being put under pressure by Flipkens in her 6-4 7-5 win.
The 23-year-old will meet Ai Sugiyama in the third round, following the Japanese woman's 1-6 6-1 6-3 win against France's Natalie Dechy.
Third seed Dinara Safina was also forced to come from a set down against fellow Russian Ekaterina Makarova to book her place in the next round.
Vera Zvonareva, the seventh seed, had a far easier time of it in her match, thumping Edina Gallovits 6-0 6-0. She will now play Sara Errani, who beat Monica Niculescu.
Alize Cornet, the 15th seed, conceded only one game on her way to a 6-1 6-0 thrashing of Andrea Petkovic.
She will meet Daniela Hantuchova following her three-set win against Matilde Johansson.
Other seeds to progress were Marion Bartoli, Nadia Petrova, Kaia Kanepi and Caroline Wozniacki.
