"I'm not going to sit here and make excuses," she added, refusing to specify what was wrong with her physically. "I lost because Jelena played better than me and I made too many errors. I think regardless, the match was on my racket, and I gave it away."
Williams beat Jankovic in the fourth round here last year, and there was little cause to think this would be any different, especially with the Serbian woman still not completely recovered from a thigh injury suffered shortly before the tournament began.
"Getting revenge, it feels so good," Jankovic said. "I'm like a wounded animal. I still keep going."
"It was an unbelievable match. I am still shaking. I came out very strong and I was going for my shots. Especially my backhand down the line was working unbelievably and that's how I hurt my opponent. I just kept hitting it and luckily it was all going in," she said.
