Italy’s Roberta Vinci advanced to her first final of the season by overpowering Bojana Jovanovski 6-0, 6-0 at the WTA Tour’s Texas Open on Thursday. The third seeded Vinci advanced to Friday’s final, where she will face second seed Jelena Jankovic who also won in straight sets, 7-5, 6-4 over Aussie Casey Dellacqua. Vinci needed just 52 minutes to overwhelm Jovanovski as she improved her career record against the Serb to 3-0. “I played well. She played so-so,” Vinci said. “But 6-0, 6-0 is not easy. You have to stay focused every point, every game.” Vinci posted her third career “double-bagel” victory and second against a Serb in one month. She beat former world number one Ana Ivanovic by the same score in Montreal two weeks ago.
