TOP-SEEDED Serbian Ana Ivanovic booked her semi-final berth at the Pacific Life Open with a straight-sets victory over Russian Vera Zvonareva. Ivanovic, whose runner-up finish at the Australian Open propelled her to number two in the world rankings, took 66 minutes to complete a 6-1, 6-4 victory over the 21st-ranked Russian.
Despite her ascent in the rankings, Ivanovic is seeking her first WTA title since Luxembourg last September.
She will play the winner of the match between third-seeded Serbian Jelena Jankovic and US veteran Lindsay Davenport.
Davenport, 31 and enjoying a resurgence after taking off nearly a year to have a baby, has won this title two times, in 1997 and 2000. The former world number one is also a four-time runner-up, her most recent finals appearance coming in 2005.
Australian Open champion Maria Sharapova, the fourth seed, and second-seeded Svetlana Kuznetsova have already booked an all-Russian semi-final.
