Serena Williams dumped out of Aussie Open, Li Na wins

Ana Ivanovic

Ana Ivanovic has dumped out World number one, Serena Williams from the Australian Open.
The Serb, seeded 14th in the tournament defeated Serena 4-6, 6-3, 6-3.

It was a massive upset recorded by the Serb in the fourth round as Ivanovic stalled Serena Williams’ bid to match Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova with 18 Grand Slam titles. For 26 year old Ivanovic, the victory has set her up for a last-eight clash against either Canadian teenager Eugenie Bouchard or local hope Casey Dellacqua.
“It’s amazing, I just wanted to play the best I could,” said Ivanovic. “I’m so thrilled that I played so well. I was very consistent and I’m happy about that.”
Since winning at Roland Garros in 2008, Ivanovic, ranked 14, has only made a Grand Slam quarter-final once before, at the 2012 US Open.
But under new coach Nemanja Kontic, the Serb has been thriving and came into Melbourne on the back of winning her 12th career title in Auckland by defeating Venus Williams in three sets.
