Jankovic replaces Sharapova

After Maria Sharapova's withdrawal from the Open GDF Suez (and from the Barclays Dubai Tennis Championships after that), Serbian Jelena Jankovic will be hoping to regain the number one ranking she recently lost to Serena Williams, who will also be in the field. Williams and Jankovic head a stellar field including players such as Elena Dementieva and rising star Alize Cornet.
