DOHA, Qatar -- Vera Zvonareva defeated an ailing Ana Ivanovic of Serbia 6-3, 6-7 (5), 6-4 Wednesday in round-robin play at the WTA's season-ending Sony Ericsson Championships.
The Russian won on her third match point when Ivanovic, who took a medical timeout in the first set, hit a forehand into the net.
The WTA said Ivanovic, the French Open champion, had a virus.
The ninth-ranked Zvonareva has won two White Group matches. Ivanovic has lost two. They have one more round-robin match.
The eight players are divided into two round-robin groups, with the two leaders of each going into an elimination stage.
Later Wednesday, Venus Williams was to meet Elena Dementieva and Serena Williams was to play Dinara Safina in Maroon Group play.
