Serbian third seed Jelena Jankovic advanced to the second round of the US Open on Monday by defeating Slovakian Jarmila Gajdosova 6-2, 7-6 (7/2). Jankovic, who reached the US Open semi-finals last year, will next face the winner of a later match between Sweden's Sofia Arvidsson and Olga Govortsova of Belarus.
Fourth seed Nikolay Davydenko stormed into the second round of the US Open on Monday with a 6-4 6-0 6-1 drubbing of American wildcard Jesse Levine. The Russian, who reached the semi-finals last year, raced to victory in one hour 40 minutes and will next play German Nicolas Kiefer or American Vince Spadea.
After a tight first set, Levine became more erratic and Davydenko took advantage to cruise through the second in just 20 minutes. The Russian maintained his momentum in the third set to clinch an impressive victory.
