Jelena Jankovic is determined to draw strength from her U.S. Open final defeat and regain the top spot in the world rankings at this week's Toray Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo.
Jankovic, who claimed the No. 1 position during the Beijing Olympics only to lose it to Ana Ivanovic a week later, put the disappointment behind her to reach her first Grand Slam final at Flushing Meadows at the start of this month.
Serena Williams stopped the 23-year-old in her tracks with a straight-sets win, propelling herself back to the top of the rankings in the process, but Jankovic says she is focused on snatching the crown back this week at Ariake Coliseum.
