Golovin defeats Ana Ivanovic in Bausch & Lomb semi-finals
Published by admin | Filed under Tennis News
France’s Tatiana Golovin moved a step closer to her first WTA Tour singles title, beating Ana Ivanovic 6-4, 3-6, 6-4 in cold and windy conditions on Saturday in the Bausch & Lomb semi-finals.
The eighth-seeded Golovin, 0-3 in WTA Tour finals, will face top-seeded Nadia Petrova, a 7-6 (4), 6-1 winner over Sybille Bammer.
“The conditions were very, very tough to handle. It was windy and it was really cold out there,” Golovin said. “I was proud of myself because I was able to keep at it. We both could have played better.”
It was the French teen’s first win over the sixth-seeded Ivanovic in six tries, but the outcome could have easily been a sixth consecutive loss.
Even when she held a 5-2 lead in the third set, Golovin said she didn’t feel secure.
“She was hitting some amazing shots out there,” Golovin said.
