Jankovic Gets World Number One Ranking

Jelena Jankovic
Jelena Jankovic has regained the women's world number one ranking that she held briefly in August after defeating Russian Nadia Petrova 6-4, 6-3 in the final of the Porsche grand prix held in Stuttgart and as the winner of this prestigious tournament Jankovic was also awarded a Porsche 911 convertible which she briefly took for a spin in front of the army of waiting snappers.

Jankovic seems to be in red hot form of late with this latest triumph making it two titles in as many weeks and she was assured of returning to the number one spot after close rival Serena Williams lost her opening match in the same tournament.

The women's number one ranking has been something of a hot potato this year with several players holding the position at one time or another without ever being able to truly stamp their authority on the sport.

The position was something of a poisoned chalice for former number one Ana Ivanovic whose own game has fell away dramatically after she won the French Open earlier this year in doing so reaching the pinnacle of women's tennis.
