Ana ivanovic into round 3 of the Australian open 2016

MELBOURNE, Australia
Ana Ivanovic had to deal with a half hour break when a spectator took a spill on Rod Laver Arena, but the Serb maintained her focus to close out Latvia's Anastasija sevastova 6-3, 6-3.

Sevastova first made waves in 2011 when she reached the round of 16 at the Australian open , but a brief retirement took her out of the game for nearly two years before she came back last January. Coming through three rounds of main draw qualifying, the 25-year-old played Ivanovic tough over two sets, but was ultimately undone by unforced errors - 27 to Ivanovic's 17.

Ivanovic, by contrast, played a much cleaner match, breaking serve four times and winning 83% of her first serves.

"I enjoy playing here so much; this is one of my favorite courts in the world," Ivanovic said during her on-court interview. "It's always good to be back."
