The fourth-ranked Ivanovic, who improved to 4-2 against the Russian, converted all six break points against Zvonareva, who double-faulted seven times.

The 20-year-old Ivanovic struggled with her form after winning her first Grand Slam title in June and rising to No. 1 in the WTA Tour rankings, and then withdrew from the Beijing Olympics with a thumb injury.

She reached her first semifinal since Roland Garros at the Zurich Open last week.

The ninth-ranked Zvonareva was also looking for her third title of the season after winning in Prague and Guangzhou. She qualified for the season-ending WTA Tour Championships in Doha, Qatar, by reaching the semifinals in Linz.
