2008 Women's French Open

Serena got beat in the 3rd round by #27 seed Katarina Srebotnik, 6-4, 6-4. I didn't think her game was sharp enough to beat a bunch of human backboard types on the clay.

Women's tennis has a hot young star who will be ranked #1 next week. And it's not a Russian.

20-year old Ana Ivanovic beat Jelena Jankovic in 3 sets today, and will meet Dinara Safina in the final on Saturday. Win or lose, she gets the #1 ranking.

Ivanovic defeats Safina for French Open title

PARIS -- At last, Ana Ivanovic overcame her stage fright.

In two previous major finals, Ivanovic was so overwhelmed by the setting, so shaken by the stakes, that her focus fell apart and her shots went awry.

Not on this day.

Already assured of rising to No. 1 in the rankings for the first time, Ivanovic collected Grand Slam title No. 1 by beating Dinara Safina 6-4, 6-3 in the French Open final Saturday.

Contd...
