Ivanovic Eases Through to Fourth Round

She will play either Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark or Germany´s Sabine Lisicki in the fourth round.

Fourth seed Ana Ivanovic stamped her title credentials on the Australian Open once again with a comfortable 6-3 6-4 victory over Katerina Srebotnik in the third round on Saturday.

Ivanovic only needed one break of serve in both sets against the 28th-ranked Slovenian, who forced the tall Serb into several scrambling points and refused to allow the world number three to have it all her own way.

Ivanovic, who recorded seven aces, did not drop serve and hit 31 winners, sealing victory with a forehand drive into the empty court after forcing Srebotnik wide on her service return.

She will play either Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark or Germany's Sabine Lisicki in the fourth round.
