MASON, Ohio — Turns out that Jelena Jankovic had plenty left.

The 24-year-old Serb, who rose to the top of the rankings last August, knocked off the current No. 1 on Sunday. She beat Dinara Safina 6-4, 6-2 to win the $2 million Western & Southern Financial Group Women’s Open.
It was only her second title of the year, a sign of her hard times. Plus, she was coming off one of the toughest matches of her career, a three-set victory over Elena Dementieva on Saturday night, when she was on the heat-baked court for 2 hours, 46 minutes.
She couldn’t believe she won the semifinal after falling behind 6-2 in the decisive tiebreaker. She wondered how much she’d have left for the final.
Enough.
