La ex número uno del mundo Jelena Jankovic ganó el domingo el título del torneo femenino de Indian Wells (estado de California), tras vencer en la final a la danesa Caroline Wozniacki por 6-2 y 6-4.
La serbia Jankovic, novena del ránking de la WTA y sexta preclasificada en Indian Wells, se impuso fácilmente a Wozniacki, cuarta del escalafón y segunda sembrada, para ganar el duodécimo título de su carrera y el primero desde el torneo de Cincinnati en agosto del año pasado.
"Han sido dos buenas semanas para mí realmente", dijo Jankovic, quien agregó que estaba "feliz de ganar este título."
"Yo quise ser agresiva, pero a la vez ser paciente pues supe esperar mis oportunidades", explicó Jankovic sobre su estrategia para vencer a Wozniacki.
Wozniacki, de 19 años, señaló por su parte que cometió "varios errores, sobre todo en algunos de mis primeros servicios".

Former top-ranked player Jelena Jankovic is back in good form as evidenced by her title win in Indian Wells on Sunday. The Serb defeated Denmark’s Caroline Wozniacki in straight sets 6-2, 6-4 to earn her 12th career title.
“It’s been a great two weeks for me, really amazing. I’m so happy and so thrilled that I was able to win this title,” Jankovic said.
“I went out there knowing my game plan. I wanted to be really aggressive, but at the same time patient and not really go for too much or go over the limit with some balls,” she added.
Wozniacki said that she had too many errors during important points that led to her defeat.
“I couldn’t really get to play the game that I wanted to play. I wanted to get her moving a little bit more. I wanted to stay on the baseline a little bit more,” she said.
Despite the loss, Wozniacki will rise in the women’s rankings on Monday, taking over the number two spot held by Dinara Safina.
