Taylor Dent put the Americans level by outplaying Novak Djokovic 6-1, 6-4, and then teamed with Raymond to win the mixed doubles 7-6, 6-2.

Ivanovic dominated Raymond for much of the match, overpowering her from the baseline and striking several blistering returns.

The 18-year-old gave up just four points on her serve in the opening set, breaking for 2-0 and then again for the set with a winner off a second serve.

Ivanovic then leapt to a 4-0 lead in the second set and appeared ready to claim a swift victory. But she failed to maintain her aggression and allowed her experienced opponent back into the match.
