INDIAN WELLS — When Ana Ivanovic and Vera Zvonareva take the court for today's BNP Paribas Open women's final, history will be at stake for both of them.

Ivanovic is attempting to become only the second woman in the tournament's history to repeat as champion. The only other player to repeat as champion was Martina Navratilova in 1990-91.

Zvonareva, fresh off her doubles victory with Victoria Azarenka, will attempt to become the second player to win both the singles and doubles titles in the BNP Paribas Open. The only other player to win both singles and doubles in the women's during the same year was Lindsay Davenport, who did it in 1997 and 2000.

Zvonareva made it clear she wasn't thinking about matching Davenport's accomplishment just yet.

“Well, there is no point to talk about it right now,” Zvonareva said after her and Azarenka's 6-4, 3-6, 10-5 victory over Shahar Peer and Gisela Dulko in the doubles final Saturday. “We'll see what happens tomorrow. We'll talk after the match. It definitely feels great to go far in the tournament both in singles and doubles.”

Ivanovic and Zvonareva were going in different directions at the end of the 2008 season. After winning the French Open and reaching the No. 1 ranking, Ivanovic began to struggle with injuries and fell to 11-9. In her first three tournaments after the French Open, Ivanovic lost to three players ranked between 94 to 188 in the world.

However, Ivanovic said she feels she has her form during good practices, and has rebuilt her confidence thanks to another good run in Indian Wells.

“I feel great,” Ivanovic said. “I've been really practicing well over last few weeks and have good confidence during my practices. But I obviously wanted to transfer that into my matches. That's what I've been doing this week, so I'm really, really happy with my performance.”

During Ivanovic's skid late last year, one of her losses was to Zvonareva, who made a big push in the fall to get into the year-end Sony Ericsson Championship.

During her marathon trek, Zvonareva played 21 matches in 35 days and traveled 8,966 miles just to qualify for the championships in Qatar.

Once Zvonareva qualified for the championships, she took out No. 1 Jelena Jankovic, No. 4 Ivanovic, No. 5 Elena Dementieva and No. 7 Svetlana Kuznetsova en route to the final, where she lost to Venus Williams.

Zvonareva was able to build on that momentum this year, reaching the semifinals of the Australian Open, her best showing in a major. She also won the title in Pattaya City last month.

“It's going to be tough. I think she is very confident at the moment,” Ivanovic said. “I think I have to, from the first point on, be there and try to be aggressive and move forward, like I've been playing so far.

“It's going to be for sure a tough match, but I look forward to a challenge. It's going to be a good test.”

In their head-to-head series, Ivanovic holds a 4-3 advantage over Zvonareva.
