Vinci blanks former champ Ivanovic 6-0, 6-0 at women’s Rogers Cup
MONTREAL – Roberta Vinci blanked former champion Ana Ivanovic 6-0 6-0 at the women’s Rogers Cup on Thursday in Montreal.
The 28th-ranked Vinci needed only 45 minutes to eliminate 11th-seed Ivanovic and advance to the third round of the US$2.168-million hardcourt tournament. Ivanovic won the Rogers Cup in 2006.
Vinci, the French Open doubles champion with Italian compatriot Sara Errani, barely survived her first round match, saving a match point while trailing 1-5 in the third set against Yanina Wickmayer.
Another seed fell as Carla Suarez Navarro downed No. 15 Sabine Lisicki 3-6, 6-3, 6-4.
Ninth-seeded Marion Bartoli advanced with a 6-1, 6-3 win over Shuai Peng.
