Ivanovic takes title at Linz

Top seed Ana Ivanovic confirmed her return to form today, routing Vera Zvonareva in the final of the Generali Ladies Linz.

The Serb claimed her third title of the year with a 6-2 6-1 rout of the Russian number two seed.

Contesting her first final since winning the French Open in June, Ivanovic hardly had to break a sweat as she needed just 51 minutes to dispose of her opponent.

Ivanovic, who had won just seven of her previous 14 matches entering this hardcourt tournament, faced just one break point in a final that was a complete mismatch. Meanwhile, she managed to break Zvonareva six times in an otherwise dominant performance.
