Ana Ivanovic unleashes her New Year resolutions – Tennis News
Former world number one, Ana Ivanovic, might be struggling at the elite forum of tennis for quite some time but her willpower and consistency to strive for a better result hasn’t decline a bit. She is ranked 13th in
the world at the moment, with no title since her conquest at Bali, last year.
She had a topsy turvy season in 2012 but that didn’t force her out of equation in any of the big events; consistently making it to the latter stages of most of the tournaments. Her major breakthrough came at the US Open when she reached
the quarter-final of the Grand Slam event for the first time ever since she conquered the field of Roland Garros French Open in 2008.
Ivanovic recently visited Milan to play in an exhibition event. In a spare time, she talked to the media reporters of the local website ilsussidiario.net. She pointed out some factors that are crucial for success in the future
and her New Year resolutions as well.
The 25-year-old Serb stated, “Consistency is a big factor. Last season I played a few great matches, but it was too infrequent. I need to be producing my best tennis on a more regular basis. Confidence is important too: sometimes
you can get on a roll, and the wins just keep coming.”
Adding about her goals for the next season, Ivanovic said, “For sure reaching the top 10 is a big goal of mine, and to actually finish in the top 8 so that I qualify for the WTA Championships. I prefer not to set specific goals
for each tournament, because that adds pressure. Instead, I concentrate on improving each day, and if I keep improving, so will my results and ranking.”
It will be interesting to witness if the right-handed powerhouse can squeeze her way into the elite Top-10 category that is filled with immense talent and some new entrants at the moment. She is definitely one of the strongest
contenders from the players ranked 11-20 to break into the list of best ten players of the world. Let’s hope the following season bring back the glory days for the Serb diva who is the heartthrob of many tennis followers on the globe.
