Jankovic in final

INDIAN WELLS, Calif. (AP) -Jelena Jankovic defeated Samantha Stosur 6-2, 6-4 to reach the women's final of the BNP Paribas Open.

The sixth-seeded Serb will try to win her first title in seven months on Sunday at Indian Wells. Jankovic will face either No. 2 seed Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark or fifth-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland, who met in a Friday evening semifinal.

Jankovic is having her best results of the year. She's dropped just one set in five matches. The world's former top-ranked player had little trouble dispatching Stosur, who will enter the top 10 for the first time when the WTA Tour rankings are released Monday.
