Ivanovic holds off Dodin after impressive comeback

Ana Ivanovic survived an impressive fightback by Oceane Dodin to reach the second round of the French Open.
The Serbian No 14 seed demolished her 19-year-old opponent in the first set, racing to 6-0 in just 17 minutes.
However, the Frenchwoman, who perhaps was a bit overwhelmed when playing on Court Suzanne Lenglen in her home major, hit back to clinch the second set 7-5.
The pair traded breaks in the third set but eventually the former world No 1 showed her big-game experience and pulled away to finish the match with a 6-2 set.
The 28-year-old will now face Denisa Allertova or Kurumi Nara in the second round.
