DOHA, Qatar -- Top-ranked Jelena Jankovic of Serbia reached the the semifinals of the WTA Tour's season-ending Sony Ericsson Championships Thursday after beating Svetlana Kuznetsova of Russia 7-6 (6), 6-4.
The seventh-ranked Kuznetsova saved two set points in the tiebreaker before hitting a forehand into the net to drop the first set.
Jankovic called for a trainer early in the second set before recovering to win her second round-robin match.
Kuznetsova has one more round-robin match to play but can't advance because she has lost twice.
Eight players are divided into two groups of four, with the top two in each group advancing to the elimination stage.
Later Thursday, American Venus Williams was scheduled to play her sister, Serena, and Dinara Safina was to meet fellow Russian Elena Dementieva.
