Jelena Jankovic and Ana Ivanovic have predicted a bright future for Serbian tennis as they prepare for their semi-final matches at Roland Garos on Thursday.

The duo, who are both in the world's top 10, are hoping to set up an all-Serbian final but face a tough task as Jankovic must first beat Justine Henin, while Ivanovic has to take on Maria Sharapova.

Whatever happens on Thursday the future looks bright for tennis in Serbia with a host of quality players in both the women's and men's game.

"Wherever you go, it's just Serbians all over the place, winning all these matches!" said Jankovic.
"It's just incredible. I'm so proud of that and hopefully we can keep it going."

Ivanovic added: "It's very exciting to see all of us doing so well, especially since we are all very young.
"We all have a lot of years in front of us and many possibilities. I'm sure people back home are very proud of us and that makes us feel very good."

Jankovic is trading at 3.15 to pull off a shock and defeat Henin, while Ivanovic is available at 2.16 to beat Sharapova.
Elsewhere, Henin is 1.73 favourite to win the tournament but Jankovic can be backed at 5.1 with Sharapova 8.2 and Ivanovic 9.4.
