Alona Bondarenko ended a long drought against Jelena Jankovic with a third-round 6-2 6-3 upset of the eighth seed in stifling conditions at the Australian Open on Friday.
The victory on Hisense Arena was the first for Bondarenko against Jankovic in 10 meetings, the Ukrainian having only previously taken one set off the Serb in nine matches.
It was also the first time Bondarenko, who won the Hobart International title last week, had advanced to the fourth round of a grand slam.
Jankovic is the second highest women's seed to be knocked out of the tournament after fifth seed Elena Dementieva was beaten by Justine Henin on Wednesday.
