 Jankovic showed no ill-effects following her treatment

Jelena Jankovic will meet Maria Sharapova in the final of the Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo.
The Serb overcame China's Li Na in straight sets, despite needing courtside treatment on her right arm during the semi-final.
The seventh seed will now face former champion Maria Sharapova, who won a tough match against Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland in the other semi.
The Russian lost the second set but hit back to win 6-3 2-6 6-4.
Jankovic recovered from a break down in both sets to beat her opponent 6-4 6-3. The second break came immediately after her injury timeout, but the Serb's firepower was too much for Li Na.
Sharapova was also made to work, coming back from 0-2 down in the third. She fought her way back to lead 5-3 with some forceful ground strokes and closed out the match with a classic backhand cross-court return.
"It will be a tough final," said Sharapova afterwards. "Jelena is one of the best players in the world and I'll have to fight for every point."
Both women are former world number ones, but both have had a tough season. Sharapova is unseeded following a long injury break, while Jankovic has won only two tournaments.
"If I can win my third title of the year, that would be pretty good," Jankovic said. "It's been a difficult year so it would be nice to finish strong."
