Phew.
You could almost hear that phrase come out of Ana Ivanovic's mouth after she barely defeated Vera Dushevina just a few minutes ago.
Ivanovic outlasted her Russian opponent, 6-1, 4-6, 6-4.
And it really was that close. They were tied at 3 in the final set, and several times it looked as if Ivanovic might just beat herself. Yes, this was your classic first-round upset type of match - Dushevina played over her head, but Ivanovic contributed bigtime with frustrating mistakes.
Over and over. And over.
We'll bring Ivanovic's quotes when she arrives in the interview room.
