Sara Errani and Jelena Jankovic all set for the fourth round of French Open

Jelena Jankovic, 3 time semi finalist in the French Open and Sara Errani French Open finalist of the year 2012 proceeded towards the 4^th round post defeating their respective competitors. Jelena Jankovic previously held the No. 1 position in the world and faced off Sorana Cirstea during the third round of the French Open, who had a better record of bagging three out of five matches against the Serbian.

In the last meet between the two, Cirstea had won the game and had bagged both the games as well on the clay court. One of the games was a 3 set thriller held at the French Open pre quarterfinals in 2009 in which the Romanian has bagged the game in the 3^rd set with a s core of 9-7.

However it dints seem like Jankovic was in any mood to lay off steam to Cirstea and wanted to win the game by hook or by crook. She completely smashed all 4 service games of Cirstea within the 1^st set and bagged the game by 6-1.

Cirstea couldn’t match up to Jankovic in the 2^nd set as well and could hold just a single service game, while the latter again won the second set by 6-2. Post this Jankovic moved right into the final sixteen for the sixth time in her 11^th time at the French Open.

Sara Errani, the 2013 semifinalist and 2012 finalist seemed like in deadly form as well as she defeated Julia Glushko in mere 52 minutes with the score of 6-0, 6-1 and make it right through the quarter finals.

The two lethal competitors will face of each other once more in no time at all as they had already encountered in Rome for the semi finals.

Murray Praises Kyrgios

Andy Murray used some praising words for Nick Kyrgios on Twitter after the Australian teenager lifted the Nottingham challenge trophy the other day and got an entry to the men’s category main draw of the upcoming Wimbledon Championships.

Kyrgios has taken part in three Grand Slam singles tournaments so far and his performance in all of them has been nothing more than ordinary.

The 19-year old first featured in a Grand Slam singles competition last year at Roland Garros and got knocked out from the second round. He, thereafter, made an appearance at Flushing Meadows too and he had to suffer a defeat in his very first match there.

In the Australian Open of this year, Kyrgios again couldn’t go to the latter stages and was sent packing from the second round. He wasn’t able to qualify for the recently finished French Open.

Kyrgios would be hoping that he at least makes his way to the round of 16 in the Wimbledon this year. Some people would argue that he is only 19 at the moment and thus, expecting him to excel at the Grand Slam level is a bit too much, but, the truth is that Kyrgios is blessed with enormous amount of potential and that’s why, the tennis fans have expectations with him.

Being very impressed with Kyrgios’ skills that he saw in the Nottingham Challenge, Murray wrote on his Twitter page, “So, Nick Kyrgios has one more challenger title under his belt. After winning on clay and hard courts, he has done it now on grass court as well. I can clearly see a superstar in the making.”

“I believe the time is not far away when people would see him featuring on main tour on a regular basis.”
