Ana Ivanovic rolled over Hungarian lucky loser Melinda "The Fifth Element" Czink 7-5, 6-1 Saturday in the final at the WTA stop in Canberra, Australia.
A sloppy first set featured seven breaks of serve as nerves were on display, but in the second set Ivanovic punched the time clock, showing an aggressive workman-like baseline game as Czink withered.
"I was really nervous in the beginning," the 17-year-old Ivanovic said. "I somehow pulled through the first set and in the second set...I didn't do too much wrong."
Czink lost in the qualifying tournament to Ivanovic the weekend prior to the tournament, but gained the main draw as a lucky loser before making her improbable run to the final.
In the doubles final the Italian/Slovak combo of (3) Tatiana Garbin/Tina Krizan defeated Czechs (4) Gabriela Navratilova/Micheala Pastikova 7-5, 1-6, 6-4.
