Serbia's Jelena Jankovic, fresh off her win at the China Open, says that she is determined to finish the year as the WTA's top player and is eyeing Grand Slam glory next season.
The world number two, now just 21 points behind Serena Williams at the top of the rankings, beat Svetlana Kuznetsova in straight sets on Sunday, avenging her defeat the previous week in Tokyo at the hands of the Russian.
Jankovic also made up for defeat in the China Open final last year where she led by a set and 5-1, and had match point, over underdog Agnes Szavay.
But the Serbian, who briefly reached number one in August, insisted that topping the rankings was of secondary importance.
The next stop on Jankovic's schedule is Stuttgart this week, where Williams is also in the draw.
