Serbia’s Ana Ivanovic will be looking to best her quarter-final outing in the 2012 US Open by going the distance in this year’s US Open against the unseeded Slovakian Dominika Cibulkova.

The two has met on 4 occasions in the past and is still looking to gain an edge over the other as both of them had won on 2 occasions each. However, It is Ana who had the upper hand in the last two previous meetings between the two.

Ad

The Serbian has been out of form or injured too frequently in the last 3-4 years, so this is the best time for the Slovakian to do a round 1 upset on her opponent.

WTA Rankings

Ana Ivanovic: 7 (3500 points)

Dominika Cibulkova: 50 (1066 points)

Prediction: Ana Ivanovic to win the hardly fought contest in 3 sets.

Venus Williams and Father Richard recall one match that 7-time Grand Slam champion "should have won"
