Ivanovic out in first round in Sydney

Former world number one Ana Ivanovic suffered a first-round exit from the Apia International in Sydney as she was beaten 7-6 (7/5) 6-2 by Lucie Safarova.

The first set went with serve all the way before Safarova took the tie-break - and the Czech kicked on from there, breaking twice in a one-sided second set.
