Ana Ivanovic has defeated Misaki Doi in three sets to advance through to the third round of the French Open.
The seventh seed was forced to battle back following a slow start yet again, having survived a similar scare against Yaroslava Shvedova earlier this week.
Two losses of serve in the opening set allowed Doi to claim a 6-3 triumph, but 2008 champion Ivanovic battled to a 6-3 win of her own in the second to take the match all the way.
Ivanovic may have struggled during the clay-court season, but she remained firm in the decider to earn two breaks of serve in the fifth and seventh games to see out a 3-6 6-3 6-4 success.
Donna Vekic awaits in the third round.
