Jelena Jankovic of Serbia bagged the Cincinnati Open victory after stunning world number one Dinara Safina 6-4, 6-2 on Sunday.

Former world number one Jankovic took the second title of the year with more ease in the final after scraping to win the semifinals against Russian Elena Dementieva in two hours and 46 minutes.

Jankovic did not give Safina much of a chance when she rushed to take the first set and surged to lead at 3-0 in the second.

Top seed Safina hit back to trail just 3-2 but Jankovic then reeled off the next three games to clinch the victory.
