My heartfelt condolences to Jelena Jankovic for the passing of her beloved grandma.“I was very sad and emotionally I was really not on court,” Jankovic said.Jankovic planned to fly to Serbia today to join her mother, who left New York on Wednesday to return home.
“I really tried my best to be there and to try to play, but it was really hard."
“You could see I was not happy on the court. I was really suffering. I tried to think about my tennis, but I felt like I was so late and so slow.”
“I couldn’t really speak,” she said.Anyway, kudos to Shvedova for advancing to the third round after a gutsy effort against Jankovic.
“I was just crying.”
“When you are sad, when you are down, you’re not the same person,” she said.
“You don’t move as well. You don’t hit the ball as well. My head wasn’t really there. I just was so—it was like a shadow of myself."
“But, you know, what can you do? Life goes on and I have to try to stay hopefully positive as much as I can, get through this.”

Last week, we saw Jelena Jankovic's hunky water polo player boyfriend Mladjan Janovic at her practice.
Top seed and world no. 1 Dinara Safina barely survived a 2 hours and 35 minutes first round match to beat no. 167 Olivia Rogowska, 6-7 (5), 6-2, 6-4!
Meanwhile, it was not so lucky for Ana Ivanovic who made her second straight early exit from the US Open, this time falling 2-6, 6-3, 7-6 (7) to Kateryna Bondarenko in the opening round.
Earlier, Svetlana Kuznetsova has advanced to the second round after a 6-3, 6-2 victory over Julia Goerges.
Just like Kuznetsova, Sharapova has no problem in advancing to the next round after an impressive 6-3, 6-0 victory over Tsvetana Pironkova.
Fresh from winning a US Open tune-up tournament in New Haven last week, Caroline Wozniacki also passed her first-round test after defeated Galina Voskoboeva with a 6-4, 6-0 win.
Jelena Jankovic who sees herself as a danger woman at the US Open also sailed through to the next round after defeating Roberta Vinci 6-2 6-3.
The night before, I managed to catch up with a couple of matches including the one between Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and American wildcard recipient Chase Buchanan.
Also advancing to the second round is Novak Djokovic, who lost to Federer in the 2007 final. The Serbian proved to be too powerful for Ivan Ljubicic by defeating him 6-3, 6-1, 6-3.
Second seed and world no.2 Andy Murray denied Ernests Gulbis by winning 7-5, 6-3, 7-5 in the featured night match on the Arthur Ashe Stadium court.
