She lost the first set in a tie-break, but stayed alive by winning the second set in a breaker.
It's now 5-5 in the third set, which has no tie-break.
Dechy saved two match points at 5-6 in the third, it's now 6-6.
Ivanovic faced two match points in the second set. On one of them, she hit an angled shot that caught the net and still managed to land in.

Venus Williams rolled past Elena Dementieva in the first set and held on in the second to reach her seventh Wimbledon final.
Defending champion and four-time winner Venus beat Elena Dementieva 6-1, 7-6 (3) and then two-time champ Serena overcame two rain delays and served 14 aces to down China's Zheng Jie 6-2, 7-6 (5).
It will be the first all-Williams final since 2003, when Serena beat her older sister in the championship match for the second year in a row.
Serena holds an 8-7 career edge over Venus, including 5-1 in Grand Slam finals. Since Venus won the U.S. Open in 2001, Serena has won five straight of their major finals.
"She's a tough opponent," Serena said. "I think she'll be the toughest person I've played. I'm excited."
Said Venus: "It's every Williams for themself."
Venus overpowered the fifth-seeded Dementieva in the first set and then prevailed in an error-filled tiebreak to improve her record to 7-0 in semifinals at the All England Club.
"I am dying for S. Williams to get through," said the 28-year-old Venus, who hasn't dropped a set in five matches and will be going for her seventh Grand Slam title.
