Serbian Ana Ivanovic’s loss to Tamira Paszek of Austria in the third round of the Rogers Cup could cost her the No.1 ranking in the world.
 
If her compatriot Jelena Jankovic reaches the finals of the tournament, she’ll take over the top spot of the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour rankings right before the Olympic Games begin and a few weeks before the US Open.
 
Ivanovic has been the No.1 player in the world since June, following her win at the French Open. Last week in Los Angeles, Jankovic had the chance to leapfrog to the top spot but she lost in the semifinals, giving Ivanovic a respite. Her next two matches in Montreal will determine whether this time will be a success.
