'Two of the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour's
most promising rising stars will battle it out for the Hansol Korea Open Tennis Championships singles title on Sunday, as Jelena Jankovic takes on Nicole Vaidisova (pictured) in the final of the $140,000 Tier IV event.
Jankovic, the No.1 seed in Seoul, was pushed to the limit in her semifinal match on Saturday, but managed to squeak through 64 57 64 over No.3 seed Tatiana Golovin. The 20-year-old Serb avenged a loss from her only prior encounter with the French teenager, a tight three-set defeat in the early rounds at the Tier I event in Miami last year.
After an impressive 2004 season which saw her capturing
her career-first Tour singles title at Budapest, Jankovic has not relented in 2005, breaking into the Top 20 and reaching finals at Dubai, where she fell in three sets to Lindsay Davenport, and at Birmingham, where she lost in three to Maria Sharapova.
