Tatishvili Did Her Best against Jankovic but...

Anna Tatishvili held one of the best matches in the current season and played Jelena Jankovic for two hours and half but she lost in the first round of “Rogers Cup” (2 369 000 USD) – 6:7 (6:8), 6:4, 3:6.

The Georgian tennis player overcame the qualifying draw of the Toronto prestigious tournament easily which proves that she was on good form.

Anna started playing Jankovic aggressively and won her 8 serves but lost her own 9 times. In spite of that the Serbian had 10 double faults (Tatishvili had 6), Anna lost.

If the Georgian tennis player continues playing at such high level, she will return to Top 100. Tatishvili is in the 112th place with 624 points on WTA ranking.
