Jankovic 3-1 Gajdosova
Jankovic keeps two-games clear of her opponent, but the Slovakian is at least showing some better form now. The heavy strapping on her left leg, starting just below the hem of her skirt and ended halfway down her calf, cannot be helping her movement at all. Jankovic 2-1 Gajdosova
A better game from Gajdosova as she holds serve. It's not without a struggle though as she is forced to deuce twice before coming through. She is showing that she can compete for power from the back of the court, but it's a bit hit-and-miss. Literally. Jankovic 2-0 Gajdosova
Jankovic secures a comfortable service hold to maintain her early advantage. These two met at Wimbledon this year when Jankovic won 6-1 6-1, and I wouldn't be putting much of my hard-earned on the Slovakian based on the opening two games. Jankovic 1-0 Gajdosova
Not an auspicious start for the 20-year-old Jarmila Gajdosova as she drops serve in her opening service game. Two double faults in a row leave her 30-0 down, and Jankovic barely needs to break sweat to get her opening game on the scoreboard. 1640: Right then, we're ready for the start of the final Grand Slam of the year. We're kicking off with third seed Jelena Jankovic's first round meeting with Slovakia's Jarmila Gajdosova.
