Jelena Kostanic defeated Karin Knapp in two tight sets 6-4 7-6(5) in the ITF-tournament played this week in Zagreb.
The first seed had to play hard for sending the Italian woman packing. It's her first win after her comeback. In her first match at Roland Garros, she fell to American Ashley Harkleroad in three sets after having MP's to close the match. Let's hope she can win this tournament and get her confidence back!

First seeded Jelena Kostanic survived fellow Croat Sanja Ancic in three tough sets (4-6 7-5 7-6).
If you think her match against Knapp was tough, this one went beyond that. Despite losing the first set, Jeka was able to come back and win this 2nd round encounter. It surely has given her a lot of confidence. Ancic is a promising tennis star who will certainly be a Top100 player soon. In the next round, Jelena will meet Hungary's Kyra Nagy
