ANA Ivanovic overcame Australian Sam Stosur in three sets for her second straight victory in the group stage at the season-ending WTA Tournament of Champions in Bulgaria.
The two-time tournament winner and former world No. 1 played aggressively to win the opening set 6-2 in just 30 minutes.
Stosur broke Ivanovic's serve in the second set to go up 5-3. But Ivanovic grabbed the early break at 2-0 in the third set and cruised from there to win 6-2 5-7 6-2.
She will play Russia's Elena Vesnina on Friday with both players still trying to secure a spot in the semi-finals.
Vesnina outlasted Bulgaria's Tsvetana Pironkova 6-2 4-6 6-0 for her first victory at the tournament.
In the day's last match, top-seeded Simona Halep of Romania swept past Ukraine's Elina Svitolina 6-1 6-1, to finish the round-robin phase unbeaten. She had already qualified for Saturday's semis.
