    Jankovic’s two hander down the line is a thing of beauty. Don’t discount it. JHH’s “money shot” is her forehand — that’s where she gets most of her winners from, especially the inside-out forehand. Jankovic, on the other hand, runs around her loopy forehand to hit a two-handed inside-out backhand, and a most glorious shot it typically is.

    Janko hasn’t played since Tuesday, when she 2&1′d Elena D in 62 minutes. JHH had a tough one against Lindsay yesterday and she’s played more matches in these past two weeks overall, what with her run to the Pilot Pen title.

    That said, JHH in three. Jankovic is good; she’ll at least take a set off JHH, if the nerves don’t get to her (which I’m hoping they don’t). But I think JHH will pull it out, just like she did in the ‘03 SF against Capriati.

    ALLEZ AMELIE!
