Miami - The presence of actor Woody Harrelson and Hollywood friend Owen Wilson in the stands at the Miami Masters didn't do much for the concentration of finalist Jelena Jankovic.

Like Marion Bartoli at Wimbledon a year ago when she knew idol Pierce Brosnan was at Centre court, Jankovic harboured the fear that she was not performing up to standard in her eventual three-set loss to Serena Williams.

"I had all these actors when I was returning," said the smiling Serb. "I was thinking that one of them (Harrelson) was in that (1992 street basketball) movie White Men Can't Jump.

"I was feeling when I was playing that match that White Girls Can't Play, you know."

Despite her nerves, Jankovic saved seven match points before the shaky Williams prevailed for her fifth Miami title.(dpa)
