INDIAN WELLS, Calif. (AP) — Jelena Jankovic defeated Samantha Stosur 6-2, 6-4 to reach the women’s final of the BNP Paribas Open.
The sixth-seeded Serb will try to win her first title in seven months on Sunday at Indian Wells. Jankovic will face either No. 2 seed Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark or fifth-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland, who met in a Friday evening semifinal.
Jankovic is having her best results of the year. She’s dropped just one set in five matches. The world’s former top-ranked player had little trouble dispatching Stosur, who will enter the top 10 for the first time when the WTA Tour rankings are released Monday.
Andy Roddick and Andy Murray played their quarterfinal matches later Friday.
