Eighth seed and former world number one Jelena Jankovic of Serbia has been bundled out of the Australian Open women's singles in the third round.

Jankovic was upset by 31st seed Alona Bondarenko of the Ukraine 6-2 6-3 in just under one and a half hours.

The Serbian struggled with her serve as well and never looked like winning against a solid performance from the 25-year-old Ukrainian.

The win means Bondarenko advances to the fourth round of the Melbourne Park tournament for the very first time.
