 DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) - Fifth-seeded Jelena Jankovic of Serbia beat Aravane Rezai of France 6-1, 6-2 on Tuesday to advance to the second round of the Dubai Open. Rezai hit some impressive winners against Jankovic but was let down by a weak first serve and unforced errors.
Eighth-seeded Daniela Hantuchova of Slovakia also advanced, beating Elena Vesnina of Russia 6-1, 6-3.
Hantuchova, who dropped only one point on her serve in the first set, raced to a 5-1 lead. Vesnina broke in the second set to lead 2-0, but Hantuchova recovered, dropping just two points in the final three games.
