The Serbian continued her dominance with another break of serve, which allowed her to push on and see out the set, while Larsson struggled to match her opponent.

The 26-year-old had a battle on her hands to keep her serve in the first game of the second set, and despite saving three break points initially, Larsson was forced to relinquish her opening game.

From that point on, Jankovic went from strength to strength to grab two more breaks and then easily serve out for the match.
