Ivanović triumphs at German Open

But the 12th-seeded Ana, whose best performance at a Grand Slam event was on clay when she reached the last eight at Roland Garros in 2005, held her nerve to be crowned German Open champion.

In a fascinating third set, Ivanović broke her opponent's serve in the eighth game to take a 5-3 lead before the Russian, who won the 2004 U.S. Open, took the next two games to level the scores at 5-5 as the game moved into a tie-break.

Ivanović leapt into a 5-1 lead and used her hard-hitting service game, when she clocked speeds of 179 kph, to win her third WTA tournament of her career in the 135 minute-long final in front of a 7,000-strong crowd.
