Former champion Ana Ivanovic became the first player to reach the semi-finals of the Indian Wells WTA tournament with a 6-3 6-4 upset over ailing seventh seed Marion Bartoli on Thursday.
The 15th-seeded Serb, who had ousted defending champion Caroline Wozniacki in the previous round, seized control with her powerful serving and strong baseline game after being broken in the first game of the match.
She broke the Frenchwoman, who was runner-up last year, three times before wrapping up the win in one hour 17 minutes when her opponent pushed a forehand service return wide.
