Jankovic Breezes to Semifinals in Charleston

#3 seed Jelena has blitzed her way into the semi-finals without losing a set at the Family Circle Cup in Charleston.  With a new coach, and what she calls a new attitude, the Serb now faces her toughest test in world #1 and top-seeded Caroline Wozniacki.

"I've just been to two tournaments so far with Andrei (new coach Andrei Pavel), and things are going real well so far," says a confident Jankovic.  "He believes in me and that means a lot."

Jankovic, the 2007 champ easily disposed of American Christina McHale in the quarters and all her attention now is on Wozniacki. 

“She runs a lot of balls down. She really doesn’t give you any free points, so you really have to work hard and really have to earn everything.”

Jankovic is 4-1 lifetime against Wozniacki, but Wozniacki won the last meeting earlier this year in Dubai.  The pair has never met on clay.  Many have noticed that Jankovic has spent a great deal of time on the practice courts this week.  Pavel has been working on her being more aggressive with the forehand and it appears to be paying off.

"I’m feeling good," Jankovic said. "My game is getting better and better."

I have a feeling it will have to be good come 1 pm Saturday against Wozniacki.
