Jelena Jankovic, the highest-ranked player left in the Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo, advanced to the semifinals on Thursday with a 6-4 6-3 succeed over Marion Bartoli. The Serbian seventh seed has become the favorite for the tournament after defending champion Dinara Safina, Venus Williams, Elena Dementieva, Caroline Wozniacki, Svetlana Kuznetsova and Vera Zvonareva all suffered shock early exits.
And Jankovic definite that status with a dominant showing against Frenchwoman Bartoli to book a last-four clash with Li Na. Li was concerned in a marathon quarterfinal with eighth seed Victoria Azarenka, needing three hours to seal a 7-6 4-6 7-6 win.
The other semifinal will be between the unseeded Maria Sharapova, a former champion here, and 11th seed Agnieszka Radwanska. Sharapova beat Iveta Benesova 6-4 6-3, while Radwanska was a 6-3 6-1 winner against Magdalena Rybarikova.
