Ivanovic beats Hantuchova to win Fortis Championships
LUXEMBOURG: Second-seeded Ana Ivanovic of Serbia won the Fortis Championships on Sunday, beating Daniela Hantuchova of Slovakia 3-6, 6-4, 6-4 in the final.
At this year's French Open, the 19-year-old Ivanovic became the first Serbian woman to reach a Grand Slam final since Monica Seles — who became a U.S. citizen at the peak of her career in the 1990s. At Wimbledon, Ivanovic lost to eventual champion Venus Williams in the semifinals.
She matched her previous top U.S. Open performance by reaching the quarterfinals, where she again lost to Venus Williams.
