  1. - - Thanks for joining me this afternoon; make sure you stick around with us for all things TENNIS!

  2. 2-6 - THERE IT IS! JANKOVIC BREAKS TO LOVE TO WIN THE TITLE! Cornet is disappointed...she had plenty chances in the match, but was unable to get a handle on her own serve, and the Serb wins it!

  3. 2-5 - Cornet comes through a very tough service hold to get to 2-4, although Jankovic then grits out a hold of her own to move to within a game of the match...

  4. 1-4 - ..Jankovic calls on the WTA trainer to look at a shoulder injury...Cornet calls on her coach to try and find some motivation...looks as though she is crying...

  5. 1-3 - Another break! Can anyone hold their serve? Jankovic gets herself ahead again.

  6. 1-2 - Cornet finds the net at 30-30, it seems as though her chance to break back has gone...but she gets to deuce before dominating the break-point to get the set back on serve!

  7. 0-2 - Jankovic holds before breaking at the start of the second set...she has a strangle-hold on this match now...

  8. 2-6 - SET! JANKOVIC BREAKS AGAIN TO TAKE THE SET!

  9. 2-5 - Jankovic breaks Cornet for a third time to earn the chance to serve for the opening set...Cornet gets to 15-40 on the Jankovic serve with a fortunate net-chord...AND CORNET BREAKS BACK! Rollercoaster set of tennis, this one!

  10. 1-4 - Jankovic breaks for a second time, but on this occasion she backs it up with a service hold to move in to a comfortable lead in the opening set...

  11. 1-2 - But Cornet breaks back immediately! Great spirit shown by the young French player...

  12. 0-2 - Jankovic breaks immediately...she is already dominating the early stages of this game...

  13. 0-1 - Cornet gets to deuce in the opening Jankovic service game...but Jankovic saves a break-point before holding.

  14. 0-0 - Off we go! Jankovic serves...

  15. - - The players are out on court and just going through their final warm-ups...
