The score suggested Ana Ivanovic dodged an eyesore of a defeat when she slipped past Vera Dushevina, 6-1, 4-6, 6-4, in a first-round match at Arthur Ashe Stadium on Tuesday afternoon at the United States Open.
If the result was unbecoming of Ivanovic, the No. 1-ranked women’s player, it certainly did not show on her face. Her smile in the postmatch news conference was a luminous half moon.
After making 40 unforced errors and frittering away two match points against a player ranked 56 places below her, Ivanovic said, “I’m very, very happy.” She added, “I’m just so thrilled to be here and to have the opportunity to play.”
