Beautiful Ivanovic shows skin to photographer John Russo

Ana Ivanovic posed in a number of settings for Hollywood fashion photographer John Russo, including a swimming pool, where the 24-year-old exposed her sexy side, posing seemingly naked, or at least topless. The photo shoot also included a session of Ana looking gorgeous in young and hip dresses. A massage and a stop in the gym were there, too. Check out the teaser video:

The shoot took place last week at the Park Hyatt Aviara in San Diego and I expect the photos to be stunning, just as those from Ana's cooperation with Russo in Las Vegas for the cover of Vanidades.

Petra Martic leaves Malaysian final exhausted, Hsieh Su-Wei clinches first WTA title

Rain was constantly messing up the schedule of the BMW Malaysian Open, including the final matches of the tournament, when Petra Martic was forced to play both her semifinal and final in one day. The Croatian had no energy to complete the title match and Hsieh Su-Wei from Chinese Taipei won her first WTA title when her opponent retired in the third set, at 2-6 7-5 4-1.

Not only that Martic played two matches in one day, but her semifinal against second seed Jelena Jankovic lasted more than three hours and finished with the score 6-7(5) 7-5 7-6(5), with Martic saving a match point on the way. In addition, the final against the unseeded Hsieh was taken to the third set as well, and Martic retired after an hour and 45 minutes. It was Martic who won the first set 6-2 and led 4-2 in the second, before tiredness took its toll.

En route to the Kuala Lumpur title, Hsieh defeated Anne Keothavong in the first round, Casey Dellacqua in the second, then had a walkover when top seed Agnieszka Radwanska withdrew, then beat Eleni Daniilidou and in the end Petra Martic succumbed to exhaustion.

The Malaysian Open final was the first WTA title match for both Martic and Hsieh. The 26-year-old Hsieh, ranked 123rd, had only two semifinals before this one, one more than ten years ago, in 2001, and one recently at Pattaya. However, in doubles she won eight WTA titles and was ranked as high as No.9. (photo: © Neal Trousdale)

Sara Errani wins both singles and doubles titles in Acapulco

In the first all-Italian final since 2010, third seed Sara Errani overcame second seed Flavia Pennetta 5-7 7-6(2) 6-0 to win the Abierto Mexicano TELCEL title, and shortly afterwards, paired with Roberta Vinci, she went on to claim the doubles trophy as well.

Pennetta was playing her seventh straight Acapulco final. She won the close first set, but in the tiebreak of the second set she made many mistakes and a lot of running, aggressive play and tense moments wore off Pennetta and she lost the third set without winning a single game, while Errani lost only three points on her serve.

After clinching the singles title, Errani took the courts for the doubles final. Her pair was Roberta Vinci, the tournament’s top seed in singles, whom Errani eliminated in the semifinals. The top-seeded Italians needed just 51 minutes to defeat Spain’s Lourdes Dominguez Lino and Arantxa Parra Santonja 6-2 6-1.

The Acapulco singles title is the third WTA title in Errani’s career, after Palermo and Portoroz in 2008. In doubles, it’s Errani’s tenth title and seventh with Vinci. (source: WTA Tour, photo: © Neal Trousdale)

Jankovic gets walkover to Malaysian Open semis

Jelena Jankovic, second seed and wildcard at the BMW Malaysian Open, is into the semifinals of the Kuala Lumpur tournament without even a drop of sweat, as her opponent Ayumi Morita granted her a walkover due to a right shoulder injury. Another lucky circumstance for Jankovic is that the event’s top seed Agnieszka Radwanska is also out, with a right elbow injury.

However, it was not all an easy road for the Serb in Malaysia. In the first round against Caroline Garcia of France, Jankovic played for almost three hours, saving a set point in the first set tiebreak and three match points in the third set to finally win 7-6(7) 4-6 7-6(2). And all that happened on Jankovic’s 27th birthday.

Petra Martic of Croatia will be Jankovic’s opponent in the semifinals. We already know one finalist – Hsieh Su-Wei advanced to the title match with a 6-0 4-6 6-1 win over Eleni Daniilidou. (photo: Johan Rivera, follow him on Twitter @HobbiesPlus)

Radwanska withdraws from Kuala Lumpur with right elbow injury

Yesterday world No.5 Agnieszka Radwanska won two matches in straight sets and advanced to the quarterfinals of the BMW Malaysian Open, which was only days after her title run in Dubai, but it seems that too much play did put a pressure on the Pole's body and she handed a walkover to her quarterfinal opponent, Hsieh Su-Wei. The reason behind the top seed's withdrawal is a right elbow injury. (photo: Johan Rivera)
