Ana Ivanovic will take over the WTA number one ranking on Monday after defeating fellow Serb Jelena Jankovic 6-4, 3-6, 6-4 to reach her second straight final at the French Open Thursday, the dpa reported.
The Serb will displace Maria Sharapova atop the table only a fortnight after the Russian reached it through the retirement of Justine Henin.
Ivanovic lost the title match a year ago to Justine Henin.
The winner will face off on Saturday's final against Dinara Safina, who beat Svetlana Kuznetsova 6-3, 6- 2 in the other semi.
