Jankovic is now a career-high world number five

Schnyder, seeded 14, beat Serena Williams in the last eight, but went down 6-1 6-3 to Serbian Jankovic.

In the final of the warm-up event before the French open, Jankovic meets second seed Svetlana Kuznetsova, who beat Daniela Hantuchova 6-4 6-2.

Kuznetsova broke at 2-1 up before taking the first set and maintaining the pressure to seal the second.

Kuznetsova, ranked a career-high number three this week following her runner-up finish in last week's German Open, used her speed to run down Hantuchova's angled shots.

And her opponent, who beat Anabel Medina Garrigues in a long two-setter the night before, never appeared to have fully recovered.

Despite her easy win, she paid tribute to Schnyder, saying: "She played unbelievably yesterday and it's really hard to play two days in a row like she did.

"I expected a really tough match. She's a lefty and her balls have a lot of spin and bounce really high.

"I just tried to play to her backhand a lot so she couldn't use spin with her forehand."
