Jelena in action against Dulko

No. 4 seed Jelena Jankovic of Serbia cruised to a 6-2, 6-2 victory over Gisela Dulko of Argentina in their first round match in Stuttgart.

Jankovic succeeded Henin in 2008 as Stuttgart champion. She improved to 4-1 against Dulko in her bid for a second title this year.

“It was good for the first match. Dulko is tough to play on clay,” Jankovic said. “I played a good first set but had a few ups and downs in the second.”

Jelena's next opponent will be Pironkova of Bulgaria.
