World no. 4 Jelena Jankovic has reached the semi final of the Andalucia Tennis Experience in Spain as the Serbian defeated unseeded Roberta Vinci 3-6, 6-3, 7-6 (8-6) in a hard-fought quarter final. Jankovic was not at her best during the match, but the former world no. 1 could bounce back after losing the first set 6-3, having been broken on three occasions. However, Jankovic bounced back in the second set by taking it 6-3, before clinching the third one in a tie-breaker. No doubt, the third set was really exciting, and when it went into the tie-breaker there were many who through Jankovic might be facing a shocking elimination from the tournament. However, the Serbian could hold on to her confidence and clinched the nerve-wrecking tie-breaker, ensuring her place in the semi final where she will face Anabel Medina Garrigues who also won a three-set affair against sixth seeded Sara Errani. Garrigues defeated Sara 6-2, 6-7 (4-7), 7-5 en route to tournament semi final.
