Jelena Jankovic and Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova upset Gisela Dulko and Flavia Pennetta in Indian Wells

Gisela Dulko and Flavia Pennetta were beaten in straight sets by wildcards Jelena Jankovic and Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, 75 75.

“Anastasia asked me to play when we were in Monterrey,” explained Jankovic, who was defeated by the 19-year-old Russian in the singles final there last week. “I don’t play doubles so often, and I thought it would be a lot of fun if I played. It’s good practice for my volleys and my serve. I’ve got to learn, you know, to play doubles better.

“Today we beat the No.1 players in the world, which we didn’t really expect, so that’s quite exciting,” she added.

Jankovic and Pavlyuchenkova were particularly strong on serve, collectively making 80% of their first deliveries, and avoiding a single double fault. Even so, they managed to save just one of five break points faced; the critical difference was that the Serbian-Russian team created more break opportunities than their opponents, converting six of 12 chances.
