Ana Ivanovic is one of the few players to have beaten both Sharapova and Serena Williams(this victory isn't in the list as she was carrying a niggle but it's still a great win). She was playing her first Grand Slam semifinal in the 2007 Roland Garros and was facing 2nd seeded Maria Sharapova.

Ivanovic got off the blocks like a racehorse, holding the first game and breaking serve immediately. She got a break again when Sharapova double-faulted to go 5-1 up before the Russian broke back. At 5-2 she got yet another break to take the set.

In the second set, the 7th seed didn't face an iota of pressure. Although she was 0-30 down after being 2-0 up, she served well to take the game. There was no stopping her as she hurtled towards the finish winning the match 6-2 6-1. With that Ana Ivanovic reached her first ever Grand Slam final.
