JANKOVIC BREAKS! The Serb strikes, upping her intensity to batter Sugiyama into submission from all areas of the court. When she wants to be Jankovic is simply too powerful for the Japanese 26th seed

6-4 -
JANKOVIC TAKES THE FIRST SET! Sugiyama does well to recover her composure after a battle with umpire Mariana Alves about a call. But a couple of unforced errors real gift the set to Jankovic
5-4 - All credit to Sugiyama as she holds again to really put the pressure on Jankovic - she's already failed to serve this set out once, can she manage it this time?
5-3 -
SUGIYAMA BREAKS BACK! A poor game from the top seed allows Sugiyama to get one of the breaks of serve back. She'll still have to serve to stay in it though
