Competing against Australia's Jarmila Gajdosova for the first time since 2004, the second-seeded Ivanovic saved all seven break points on her serve in her 6-4, 6-1 triumph - the Serb's first match of 2015 after a first round bye. "I'm really happy to get the victory,"
Ivanovic said. "It's never easy playing someone who already played a match when you're playing your first, and she's a home favorite. The first set was up and down, but I really stepped it up in the second set, which I'm really pleased about."
Ivanovic's quarterfinal opponent will be 2012 Brisbane champion Kaia Kanepi.
"I know she always plays well here," Ivanovic said.
"She won this tournament before. It's going to be a tough match. It's another challenge, and that's what it's all about. I look forward to coming out here tomorrow night again."
