Unseeded Jorovic claims QNET Open


New Delhi, Nov 22 (IANS): Former World Junior No.1 17-year-old Ivana Jorovic of Serbia defeated Austria's Barbara Haas 6-2, 6-2 in the battle of unseeded teenagers to win the $50,000 QNET Open ITF Women’s Circuit at the DLTA Complex here Saturday.

With the victory, Jorovic picked up 80 ranking points.

The Serbian, ranked 502 on the women’s circuit broke Haas’ serve in the opening game itself, riding on a remarkable drop shot and a stunning backhand down the line to build a 4-0 lead and win the first set 6-2.

Haas, ranked 150 slots higher, broke Jorovic’s serve early in the second set but couldn't build on the gains as the younger player produced winners at critical moments to recover the lost ground quickly.

Jorovic committed a series of double faults in two successive service games in the second set but pulled herself together to win the second set 6-2 and seal the match in her favour, denying Haas the chance to stretch the contest into the third set, despite the Austrian getting a chance.

The result (singles final): Ivana Jorovic (Serbia) beat Barbara Haas (Austria) 6-2, 6-2.
