Melbourne: Second seed Vera Zvonareva survived a scare to beat Serbia's Bojana Jovanovski 2-6 6-3 6-1 and advance to the third round of the Australian Open on Thursday.

At one point left sobbing under her towel after some wretched play in the first set, Zvonareva blasted her way back helped in no small part by 48 unforced errors from Jovanovski.

Zvonareva, beaten finalist at last year's Wimbledon and U.S. Open majors, was her own worst enemy at times, putting in just 58 percent of her first serves.

However, the 10-times WTA tour titlist ultimately had too much power for 58th-ranked opponent, who appeared to freeze after taking a surprise one-set lead.
