Ana Ivanovic scored her second consecutive win at the Sony Ericsson Championships on Wednesday after defeating Daniela Hantuchova 6-2, 7-6(9).
Ivanovic now has a perfect 2-0 record at the season-ending event, with one round robin rubber remaining to be played against Maria Sharapova.
Hantuchova is appearing in her second WTA Championships, but has never won a singles match in the tournament.

A truly good evening relaxant.
I’d rather wished it went to a 3rd but Hantuchova didn’t take her chances, although she fought hard in the 2nd set to bring it to a tiebreaker.
I am loving Anna now. Really loving her play although I am still skeptical about her options against a skillful chap like Justine, but she she’s hitting some really good shots now.
It’ll be good to see her test Maria, or is the other way ?
Ivanovic was looking great today against Daniela, especially in the tiebreak. I’m not convinced she could get past Justine in the final, but I definitely like her chances against Maria.
