Tennis: Jelena Jankovic exploited Elena Dementieva's weak serve to upset the fourth seed 6-2 6-1 and advance to the semi-finals of the US Open.

Russian Dementieva, a 2004 Open finalist, produced five double faults as she failed to hold any of her seven service games against her 19th-seeded Serbian opponenet.

Jankovic next plays either French Open champion Justine Henin-Hardenne or former U.S. Open champion Lindsay Davenport.

The 62-minute triumph over Dementieva in Arthur Ashe Stadium marked her third straight victory over a top 10 opponent.

"It's an amazing feeling," said Jankovic, who beat 10th-ranked Nicole Vladisova in the second round and number seven seed Svetlana Kuznetsova in the third. "I don't know how to explain it. You can only know this feeling when you really are there and experience it. It's a great feeling to be in a semi-final, especially in Arthur Ashe, in a big stadium. Amazing."
