After opening her season with a 5-7, 6-1, 7-5 loss to Agnes Szavay, Jelena Jankovic reports that she is using a new service motion.

Jankovic developed the new stroke during the offseason with the help of Nick Bollettieri & Jimmy Arias. "I changed a little bit my technique, so I'm still not quite adapted to that stroke," she was quoted saying in The Australian.
