Tennis: New No. 1 Jankovic wins Porsche Grand Prix

October 5, 2008 - Jelena Jankovic banged out a 6-4, 6-3 win Sunday against Nadia Petrova to capture the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in Stuttgart, Germany.

The second-seeded Jankovic, a native of Belgrade, Serbia, claimed her second straight title following last week’s China Open at Beijing, giving her three titles this season and eight in her career.

She likely will take the top ranking from Serena Williams with the win.

Jankovic will also take home a $100,000 and a new Porsche.

According to the AP:

After the win, Jankovic took a spin in the red Porsche 911 convertible given to the winner and appeared to have more trouble controlling the powerful car than the match.

With her focus and energy of late, it’s likely she’ll quickly adapt to her new wheels!
