  1. 23:26 - It is painful to watch Ivanovic at the moment and the out-going world number one has just been part of the biggest upset of the women's game possibly ever

  2. 6-3 - THERE IS IT! JULIE COIN HAS BEATEN THE WORLD NUMBER ONE! Ivanovic is close to tears and she swiftly exits the court having pulled a cross court forehand wide to concede the match.

  3. A-40 - Another forehand error from Ivanovic, into the net once again, gifts Coin a third match point ...

  4. 40-40 - Ivanovic is battling for all she's worth out there and puts a cross court forehand smack on the line. Coin challenges but the ball was good and the world number one is hanging on to this by her fingertips

  5. A-40 - Another match point to Coin as Ivanovic dumps a forehand into the bottom of the net ...

  6. 40-40 - Double fault from Coin shows her nerves. Ivanovic is let off the hook, at least temporarily ...

  7. 40-30 - Ivanovic slaps a forehand slightly long and wide and Coin has her first match point ...

  8. 30-30 - Ivanovic whips a forehand passing shot across court to get herself into the game ... and then comes up with a blistering inside out cross court forehand to level up

  9. 30-0 - Two huge first serves that Ivanovic can only slap long leaves Coin just two points away from the third round

  10. 5-3 - Ivanovic's best backhand of the day whipped right across court and into the corner helps her hold, and at least forces Coin to step up and serve out the match

  11. 40-40 - Ivanovic gets herself out of a spot of bother with a great first serve out wide ... but Coin really is looking good and hauls Ivanovic back running the world number one around the court and forcing a backhand error that lands miles out.

  12. 5-2 - Coin is showing no signs of nerves at all, as she holds once again to leave herself just one game from the third round

  13. 4-2 - 1967 was the last time that the top seed in the women's draw went out in the either the first or second round. Fact!

  14. 4-2 - Triple break point for Coin ... but she only needs the one as Ivanovic tries a forehand lob but hits it just out. Coin is just two games away from the biggets shock in the women's game for years

  15. 3-2 - Two break points for Ivanovic ... the first goes begging as she slaps a forehand long, and then the second goes in much the same way but this time the error comes out wide. Coin eventually holds with a brilliant forehand passing shot from deep of the baseline that lands plum on the sideline

  16. 2-2 - Ivanovic keeps herself in touching distance. There are signs of the usual Ivanovic as she draws Coin up to the net with a sliced drop shot before volleying the return back into the open court

  17. 2-1 - Another great service game from Coin and she really doesn't look like she is going to cave in this match

  18. 1-1 - Ivanovic holds to keep herself on level terms early in this set

  19. 1-0 - Coin manages to hold on to her serve despite Ivanovic earning herself a break point. But the Serb dumps a ball into the net and then hits wide to allow Coin to hold

  20. 4-6 - BETTER WORK FROM IVANOVIC!! The Serb grabs the second set as Coin dumps a backhand into the net. Ivanovic is doing better but in all fairness, the errors are beginning to flow from the racquet of Coin, allowing the world number one back into the match

  21. 4-5 - Julie Coin concedes her serve and finally there is the yell from Ivanovic! Coin hits the ball into the net to gift Ivanovic the break

  22. 4-4 - A love service game from Ivanovic and there is the odd clenched fist from the world number one. But there is none of the yelling that you usually hear from Ivanovic when she is up against it

  23. 4-3 - Coin has got a 90% success rate when she gets her first serves in so far this match and accordingly she holds again thumping away a short forehand winner on the last point of the game allowing herself a little smile as she drops her racquet in the process

  24. 3-3 - A little bit better from Ivanovic again as she plays an inside out ball over the low part of the net for a winner. She is at least sticking with Coin in this second set

  25. 3-2 - Coin holds on to her serve again with the world number one on her knees trying (and failing) to get a low ball back up over the net. The Frenchwoman continues to out-hit Ivanovic from the baseline.

  26. 2-2 - Ivanovic is forced to save yet another break point but does so when she catches the outside of the sideline. She also gets pretty lucky on the final ball of the game. Coin challenges a call on the baseline but hawkeye shows the ball to have caught the line by about a milimetre and even Coin can grin about that one!

  27. 2-1 - Ivanovic is still looking better than she did in the first set but once again it is a couple of unforced errors (one a forehand into the net, the other a forehand out wide) that cost her a potentially game winning situation and allow Coin to keep herself in front

  28. 1-1 - Much better from Ivanovic as she stops the rot and gets herself on the scoreboard for the first time in six games. More solid groundstrokes from the Serb, including a blistering cross court angled forehand, must give her some confidence, surely

  29. 1-0 - Two aces from Coin starts the second set just as she finished the first, firmly in control of this match

  30. 6-3 - Unbelievable! Ivanovic has dropped the first set very tamely indeed and she just doesn't look like she has anything much to challenge with out here today

  31. 5-3 - Another very solid service game from Coin and she is looking like a player ranked a lot higher than 188. Ivanovic will now have to serve to stay in the set incredibly

  32. 4-3 - Ivanovic has to save yet more break points and recovers from 15-40 down before dumping a smash into the bottom of the net to give Coin a third break opportunity. This time the Frenchman doesn't even have to do anything to secure the break as Ivanovic throws in a double fault to concede her serve

  33. 3-3 - Coin really is looking very relaxed out there, in what is comfortably the biggest match of her career so far. Almost more relaxed than the world number one in fact

  34. 2-3 - Much better from Ivanovic who jogs to the chair after a love service game, the first of the match

  35. 2-2 - Coin does not seem overawed by the ocassion so far as she saves some break points of her own to hold for a second time

  36. 1-2 - Ivanovic is looking a little tense out on the court and is forced to save a couple of break points early in this game but a great cross court backhand volley, that she had to play practically on her knees, seems to give her confidence and the French Open champion holds to stay in front

  37. 1-1 - Qualifier Coin throws in some good serving to open up her account and Ivanovic will just be feeling out her opponent just now as she is unlikely to know too much about her

  38. 0-1 - A quick and easy opening service for the world number one

  39. 0-0 - Ivanovic to get the match underway ...

  40. 21:16 - Due out on court shortly Ana Ivanovic will take on Frenchwoman Julie Coin, who is currently ranked 188 in the world

  41. 21:15 - Hello and welcome to eurosport.yahoo.com's LIVE coverage from day four of the US Open
