Superb Bartoli dumps out Jankovic
Sun 25th Jan 09 - 16:58

Top seed Jelena Jankovic crashed out of the Australian Open after a stunning performance from French 16th seed Marion Bartoli, who won 6-1 6-4. Bartoli took the first five games of the match to leave the Serbian reeling. Jankovic looked dismally out of sorts despite a brief resurgence in the second set, and Bartoli reached the quarter-finals with surprising ease. Third seed Dinara Safina saved two match points on her way to beating France's Alize Cornet 6-2 2-6 7-5. Safina now plays unseeded Australian Jelena Dokic, who delighted the home fans with a gritty 7-5 5-7 8-6 win over Russian 29th seed Alisa Kleybanova.
