Maria Sharapova has beaten Jelena Jankovic in three sets to reach the French Open semi-finals for the third successive year.
The defending champion will now face Victoria Azarenka for a place in the final at Roland Garros.
The world number two was out of sorts during the opening set and was broken three times as Jankovic clinched it 6-0 in emphatic fashion.
However, the Russian fought back to level the match 6-4 before closing out the contest 6-3.
