Ana Ivanovic advanced to the semifinals of a major tournament for the first time since winning her only Grand Slam title at the French Open seven years ago with a 6-3, 6-2 win over Elina Svitolina on Tuesday. The seventh-seeded Ivanovic played aggressively throughout and compensated for her many mistakes with 37 winners to extend her unbeaten record against her 20-year-old opponent to seven. After sealing her win with a forehand passing shot - her 28th forehand winner of the match - the 2008 champion at Roland Garros said: ''I don't know if I should feel very old or very happy.'' With windy conditions on Court Philippe Chatrier, Ivanovic started with a double-fault but once she found her range she was in complete control.
