BEIJING, Sept. 22 (Xinhua) -- Serb Jelena Jankovic took sweet revenge in a much-anticipated rematch of last week's encounter against Lindsay Davenport in the semifinals of the China Open hereon Saturday.

With the 6-3, 7-5 win, the 22-year-old Jankovic earned her first victory against Davenport after four defeats and now stands just one win away from her fifth title of the season.

Coming up for the Serb in the final will be Hungarian prospect Agnes Szavay, who advanced with a drubbing of 6-1, 6-2 over local hope Peng Shuai.

The 31-year-old Davenport, who gave birth to her son Jagger in June and only came out of retirement last week, prevailed 2-1 against the Serb in the quarterfinals of the Tier III event in Bali eight days ago before eventually winning the event, her 52nd career title.

Although she had her eight-match Asian winning streak ended, Davenport said winning or not doesn't matter at all.

"Everything I have now is like joy to me. I've been No. 1 in the world and I won the Slams. It's now like bonus to me," Davenport said. "I have a great life off the court and now I come back and play well."

"It doesn't matter if I win or not. I've already had all of these and an adorable son."

Jankovic had to fight to get the job done at the Beijing Tennis Center in a second set littered with service breaks in six of the last eight games.

The Serb finally closed out the win in 90 minutes after losing her own serve four times and breaking Davenport on six occasions.

However, Davenport will return more than satisfied to California with her three-month-old son after proving to herself this month that she still has the game to compete with the elite on the WTA.

The feature night match pitting fast-rising star Szavay against Peng turned out to be lop-sided, with the Chinese girl throwing up the sponge in just 67 minutes.

Although Peng has won both of their previous meetings on the ITF women's circuit three years ago, she now proves to be in a different league comparing with the rampant six seed, who wrapped up the breezing victory after breaking five times.

"I started well and played my game," said Szavay, "I just try to be aggressive and try to win the rally."

"I have no secrets for my successes. It was from last year that I play better and better. I think it is step by step," she added.

"It is far away from reaching top 10, but I will never stop working on it."

While Peng was also assured of the bragging rights after ousting two former world No. 1, namely Frenchwoman Amelie Mauresmo and Swiss Martina Hingis, en route to the semifinals.
