Top seed Ana Ivanovic is through to the final of the Aegon Classic after beating China’s, Shuai Zhang in straight sets.
The world No.13 was the only player yet to have not dropped a set going into the day’s first match-up. It was Zhang who took the early advantage, breaking the Serb in the opening game before holding for a 2-0 lead. But Ivanovic recovered quickly and began to settle into the groove.
She took six straight games to take the first set after hitting ten winners and making very few errors for Zhang to capitalise on. This trend continued into the second set as Ivanovic broke her opponent again to take a 2-0 lead after some more consistent first serves. Zhang was unable to find a way past, as Ivanovic held on to secure a 6-2, 6-2 victory and her fourth final of the year.
“I mean it would mean a lot for me to have title on grass.” Ivanovic stated. “It’s been - not to mention my age - but ten years on tour and I have never won a title on grass.
That would definitely be something special.” A victory for Ivanovic on Sunday will move her up to 11 in the world rankings.
