Jelena advanced to the forth round at the French Open after defeating 27th seed Alona Bondarenko of Ukraine in straight sets, 6:4, 7:6.

Jelena's match was the last played match on courts of Roland Garros on Saturday. Jelena defeated Bondarenko in straight sets, but this win was far from emphatic.

Jelena seemed to be nervous from the beginning of the match, rushing to close it out before the dark. It wasn't a high-level match, because it was full of breaks and unforced errors from both sides. Jelena made 33 unforced errors and managed to hold her serve mere 4 time throughout the 1 hour and 46 minutes lasting match. Jelena had 14 break points, but broke her opponent 8 times.

This was 11th meeting between Serbian no.1 Jankovic and Ukranian Bondarenko, with Jelena leading 10:1 now. Jelena's next opponent in the quarterfinals will be Slovakian Daniela Hantuchova. Daniela and JJ are tied at 3:3, but Hantuchova won both matches they played this year, and even worse for Jelena, both matches were played on clay.
