"Super Serbs" Jelena Jankovic and Ana Ivanovic on Monday battled through baking heat at the Australian Open, local media are reporting. The Sydney Morning Herald says that Jankovic complained of burning feet and soothed them in ice during breaks as the temperature soared to 50 Celsius on court. Jankovic beat Austrian Yvonne Meusburger in straight sets, 6-1, 6-3. "Serbs sweep" as Aussie Open kicks off Ivanovic, the French Open champion and Australian Open finalist last year, also won 2-0, beating German Julia Goerges 7-5, 6-3.
