Serbia's Jelena Jankovic all but ended Venus Williams' slim hopes of qualifying for the end-of-season WTA Finals by winning the battle of former world number ones in the Hong Kong Open semi-finals on Saturday. Jankovic prevailed 6-4 7-5 in a tight match to set up a Sunday showdown with Germany's Angelique Kerber, who proved too strong for Australia's Sam Stosur.
Kerber beat the former US Open champion 6-2 6-2 and is now one win away from securing her place in the eight-woman field at the WTA Finals in Singapore in eight days time. "I'm not thinking too much about needing one more win tomorrow, though," the German said in an on-court interview. "It's going to be another day and another match, and I'm just going to try and play some good tennis and win the final here."
