Jelena Janković, The Empress

[Gama]

Jelena Jankovic needed nearly three hours to sneak past American hope Melanie Oudin 6-4, 5-7, 6-4.

Jankovic, a former world No. 1 and the No. 9 seed here was winless in two matches against the Georgia native coming into their meeting Tuesday.

"Sometimes when you lose against someone it's always tricky to play the opponents," Jankovic said after the win. "She has this game that I don't really like and doesn't really suit me, I always have trouble with her. It's just her style of play is just difficult for me to play against."

Jelena Janković plasirala se u treće kolo turnira u Čarlstonu, pošto je pobedila Francuskinju Karolinu Garsija sa 2-1, po setovima 5:7, 7:6, 6:3.

JELENA JANKOVIC: And today I felt quite heavy on my legs. I wasn't moving to way I would like to.
And I don't know if it's the clay or I'm a little bit tired or what it was, but I thought I just started moving a bit better in the third set which was quite, you know, it was not good, especially on this surface you got to move, you got to slide. And so I just got to somehow adapt to the surface.

Q. Are you here with a coach?
JELENA JANKOVIC: I'm here with my brother and a hitting partner, so I don't have a coach.

Q. How is it for you because I know you don't like to have a coach?
JELENA JANKOVIC: It's great.

Q. All right.
JELENA JANKOVIC: No, it's great. My brother knows me better than anyone. I'm playing pretty well, I played in Miami and I
think I'm on the right track, I'm playing much much better and I have a lot more confidence. I believe in myself a lot more and I work hard every day. That's for me, it's all about having a
good surrounding and people that know me and people that know me best and wish the best for me.So for so far so good. I just want to continue on this.

Jelena Jankovic continued her spring revival on a very rainy Thursday at the Family Circle Cup, sweeping past Jessica Pegula 60, 64 to make the quarterfinals of the Premier event.

"It was very difficult for all of us to wait around and just keep standing by," Jankovic said. "You didn't know when you were going to go on the court and you just had to be ready all the time and wait.

"But when I came out on court I played quite well. The court was slow because it was quite humid out there and there was a lot of rain. The balls were quite heavy and the overall play was quite heavy. But I got used to it, adjusted to it quite well, and I think I did a great job during the match today."

The former World No.1 ended up with the win every time and has now won 12 of her last 13 matches, the only loss coming to Maria Sharapova in the semifinals of Miami.

"This is a new year and so far I think I'm doing pretty well and I think I have the confidence," Jankovic commented. "Like I've said before, I'm working very hard every day just trying to get to another level and become a better player overall. My goal is to get back to the top rank where I was before.

"But first of all, I want to play good tennis. That's what I'm striving for every day, and then the results will come. I have to fight every time I step on the court. Sometimes I have ups and downs but I have to cut down on those and when I get myself going out there, I have to stay there as long as I can."

Next up for Jankovic will be another teen-aged qualifier, Eugenie Bouchard.

Jelena Jankovic cruising past Canadian qualifier Eugenie Bouchard in an hour and two minutes, 62 61. Jankovic has now won 13 of her last 15 matches but even bigger for the Serb was the win marked her 500th career match win.

"I actually didn't know that," Jankovic said. "I don't know who told me, but I was like, 'Really?'

"I don't really know what it feels like. I had no idea how many wins I had. I'm really bad with statistics. I don't follow any of that. But it's pretty nice. It's a great achievement to get my 500th win, and hopefully I can have many more. We'll see how it goes. I don't know how many players have done that.

"To have 500 wins you have to have a pretty long career and be pretty consistent."

Intervju posle 1/4 finala , pobeda nad Eugenie Bouchard 6-2, 6-1

Q. You talked earlier this week about how much you still want to get back to the top of the game. It's clearly been on court there have been a lot of lows the past three or four years. Has the motivation always been there or were there moments where you thought I'm not getting the same results as I was when I was No. 1, maybe my best days are behind me?
JELENA JANKOVIC: Yeah. It was -- I think last year was my worst year in my career. I really played -- I had a lot of injuries. I was -- my confidence was not there. I didn't train properly. I wasn't really feeling that I was the same person on the court. I didn't enjoy my time on the court, and that's always the difficulty. Like this year, I made up my mind, I really want to train, I really want to get up there to the top. I really want to do my best again. And so far so good.
And right now I feel very motivated. I feel -- you know, I have the hunger. I really want to come back to the top, and I knock on wood. I have to stay healthy because I really -- the injuries are what I'm most afraid of, and I've had a lot.
So far now everything is going pretty well. I'm healthy. I'm enjoying my tennis. I enjoy competing. That's what I love the most. I love going in front of crowds and just playing those matches, and when you are winning, I don't think it gets better than that.

Q. Jelena, I'm wondering if you have changed your training methods any in the past several months.
JELENA JANKOVIC: Yeah, I did actually. I started training a lot more. I didn't train a lot in the past because, like I said, I didn't enjoy it.
Yes, I have the talent. Yes, I have a lot of qualities, but without the hard work it's not going to happen. So I made up my
mind to do that, and I think the hard work is paying off. But I cannot stop. I just gotta continue.
