Youngster stays cool to score Beijing upset

But with everybody ready to celebrate the Serb's fifth crown of the
season, Szavay suddenly opened her account, rallying to level at 1-1
before breaking five successive serves.?

Jankovic battled hard to win her own serve and broke to make it 5-2 in
the deciding set. But it proved to be a fleeting respite from Szavay's
assault as the Hungarian won the next game to win the match in two hours
and 56 minutes.

Telling statistics show that Szavay fired 43 winners to Jankovic's 15.

"I cannot say I played very bad because I saw she was a different player
at the end of the second set," Jankovic said.

"I fought to stay but she just didn't make any mistakes in the last set."

Jankovic, who has played 16 tournaments this year, said she would cut the
number of matches in a bid to focus on bigger events next season.

"I think I would cut half of the matches next year," she said.

"I am sure I played too many tournaments, so I am very very tired now.

"I had too many bad play in so many events and my body was put to the
limit.

"I cannot wait the end of the season and I just want to have a very good
rest and win more matches at major tournaments next year."

Earlier yesterday, Chuang Chia-jung, who teamed up with Hsien Su-wei,
beat Han Xinyun and XU Yifan 7-6(7/2), 6-3 to win the doubles trophy.
