Serena's Early Exit Opens the Door For Jelena Jankovic

Jelena Jankovic has already reached the semifinals here in Roland Garros three times.  Last year, she reached the quarterfinals.  So, with the early exit of Serena Williams, it opens the door for Jelena to get the semifinal slot on her side of the draw.

On paper, her most likely semifinal opponent is Simona Halep, who has never reached the semis or further in any grand slam, so Jelena is really tipped as a heavy favorite to get the finalist slot on this side of the draw.

She may meet fellow Serbian Ana Ivanovic in the semifinals, who is also on this side of the draw, and who is also hungry to get another French Open title.

Sara Errani and Andrea Petkovic are the likely opponents of Jelena before she reaches the semi's.
