ANA PRETEKLA JELENU!

Ivanovićeva pobedila Katarinu Srebotnik 2:1 u četvrtfinalu Sidneja i u ponedeljak zvanično preuzima treće mesto na WTA listi od Jankovićeve. Jelena porazom od Vajdišove pala na četvrtu poziciju
SRPSKA ROKADA... Jelena i Ana zameniće mesta na WTA listi

Ana Ivanović, posle jučerašnje pobede nad Slovenkom Katarinom Srebotnik u četvrtfinalu Sidneja, pretekla je Jelenu Janković na WTA listi! Ana će već u ponedeljak zvanično postati treća teniserka sveta, a Jelena, koja je juče poražena u Sidneju od Nikol Vajdišove, moraće da se spusti na četvrtu poziciju.



Računica je prosta: Jelena, koja je pred turnir u Sidneju imala samo devet bodova više od Ane (3.470 naspram 3.461), izgubila je u australijskoj metropoli čak 120 poena (branila je 190 od prošle godine, kada je igrala u finalu, ali je ove sezone, porazom u četvrtfinalu, odbranila samo 70). Ana je, s druge strane, obezbedila plus od 55 bodova, jer je 2007. ispala u četvrtfinalu, a sada se plasirala u polufinale, u kojem je, doduše, čeka neprikosnovena Žistin Enan. To znači da će Ana Australijan open dočekati s barem 3.516 bodova, a Jelena sa 3.350!
Ivanovićeva je protiv Srebotnikove, 28. igračice sveta, slavila u tri seta 2:1 (6:3, 3:6, 6:2), ali je ponovo dozvolila sebi neverovatan pad koncentracije. Naime, vodila je 3:1 u drugom setu i 40:0, ali je zbog jednog lošeg forhenda potpuno pala, izgubila taj gem i još četiri sledeća, pa je morala da se muči i u trećem setu. Na njenu sreću, presudila je razlika u klasi, koja je bila očigledna kada se Ana malo smirila.


- Nisam mogla da ne mislim na taj poen. Već sam u glavi vodila 4:1 i takav kiks nije lako zaboraviti. Ali, drago mi je što sam u trećem setu ponovo pronašla svoju igru. Važno je da u takvim situacijama umem da se smirim i zato sam vrlo zadovoljna kako je na kraju sve ispalo - rekla je Ana posle meča.
Jelena, još rovita posle povrede butnog mišića, nije izdržala dvočasovnu borbu sa Čehinjom Nikol Vajdišovom. Poražena je 2:1 (6:4, 4:6, 6:4), a oba seta izgubila je zahvaljujući samo jednom brejku. Da nesreća bude veća, meč je odlučen u najnezgodnijem trenutku, u ključnom devetom gemu trećeg seta, kada je Jankovićeva protraćila svoj servis. Srpska teniserka imaće nekoliko dana da potpuno zaleči povredu i zdrava dočeka start Australijan opena.

Ma nije Enan ni bila toliko bolja,ona je sve poene uzela na Aninu gresku a ne na njeno znanje.

Ana manekenka Joneksa za 8 cifara

Samo nekoliko dana pred početak prvog Gren slem turnira sezone, Ana Ivanović je već na naslovnim stranama teniskih časopisa. Četvrta nositeljka Ozi opena je potpisala četvorogodišnji ugovor sa Joneksom. Prema nezvaničnim informacijama, u pitanju je najveći ugovor koji je neki proizvođač reketa potpisao sa igračem u istoriji tenisa.

Pošto je čitavu svoju karijeru nastupala sa Vilson reketima, Srpkinja će tako u budućnosti igrati sa reketima japanskog proizvođača.

"Oduševljena sam što sam se dogovorila sa Joneksom. Dosta vremena sam testirala njihove rekete i obradovala sam se kada sam videla da su doneli nešto novo i dobro mojoj igri. Jedva čekam da počnem da igram zvanične mečeve sa novim reketima", rekla je Ivanovićeva.

Ivanovićeva će od ponedeljka biti treća teniserka na svetu, a prema ugovoru sa Joneksom ukoliko stigne na prvo mesto, očekuje je bonus od osmocifrenog dolarskog iznosa.

"Veoma smo srećni što je Ana pristupila našoj porodici. Joneks uvek podržava perspektivne igrače koji mogu da osvoje Gren slem ili da stignu do prvog mesta. Mi verujemo u Anu i očekujemo od nje najbolje rezultate", izjavio je generalni menadžer Joneksa Vataru Hirokava.

20-godišnja srpska igračica je u karijeri osvojila pet VTA turnira i igrala je finale Rolan Garosa prošle godine.

Делови овог Аниног интервјуа на српском су објављени у "Куриру", па кога занима може тамо да прочита. Ово је интервју за "Sport Magazine", у целини.

Growing up, tennis training meant playing in a drained-out swimming pool. But as the Serbian star tells Sport, it's not about the facilities, but the determination to succeed

If you can name the top five ranked females on the Sony Ericsson WTA tour, Sport awards you five points. If you can spell them too, you get 10 points and a bag of pickled onion crisps. Even Sport's own scholarly chief sub-editor would struggle to provide correct spellings of the women who make up the tennis world's top 10 - a list featuring three ‘Ova's', two ‘Vic's' and a Chakvetadze. But there is one woman among them whose name could this year become as well known as that of Steffi Graf. Even if it does take twice as long to pronounce.

Ana Ivanovic chose to prepare herself for the intense heat of next week's Australian Open by spending a week in London, in late December. And let's face it, London and Melbourne are not the same at this time of year. Nonetheless, it's not down to Sport to dictate how one of the best tennis players in the world gets ready for a Grand Slam tournament. Instead, it's up to us to spend some time with her at a swish south London pad, complete with a fully stocked fridge and bar.

Not that we'd question her methods anyway. This is the girl whose modest aim at the start of 2007 was to claw her way into the world top 10. And here we are at the start of 2008, with Ana sitting pretty at number four and ready to become a superstar. Clearly then, there is some method behind her apparent madness.

Method and good manners, it seems. "Would you like a drink? And some food?" Ana asks, after Sport bursts through the door, red-nosed from the winter chill and struggling under the weight of our oversized duffel coat. "Why yes, that would be lovely," we reply, blushing slightly. We think of getting her to phone for a pizza but a cup of tea will do nicely in the meantime.

So while Ana's agent puts the kettle on, and the lady herself settles down to have her eyelashes curled by Sport's make-up artiste - she works wonders on our bushy brows every day - we suddenly remember why we're there, and get down to some proper work. After the tea and a selection of salted snacks arrive, naturally.

So, Ana, are you now fully prepared for the Australian summer awaiting you?

"I've been training at the National Tennis Centre in Roehampton where they have heated courts, so this morning it was 38 degrees! (Ah, that explains choosing to ‘acclimatise' in chilly Blighty). But it is always so hot in Australia - last year they had to close the roof because of the heat. As a professional, you just have to adjust to different circumstances."

Do you think that your experience from last year will help you to cope this time around?

"Well, the past couple of years I didn't play as well as I had hoped in Australia, but this year I have more confidence. This is the highest I've ever been ranked too, so I am expecting myself to do better. And Australia is my favourite country - the first time I went there I fell in love with it. And there is a big Serbian community so we always have a lot of support. I even have family in Melbourne, so since I was a kid I always dreamed of going there."

Life must have been difficult in Belgrade in the early 1990s. Was tennis your escape from the political upheaval?

"I just loved the game really, and no one at home knew anything about the sport. But I watched it on TV and between matches there was a commercial for a tennis school. I remembered the number and told my parents to sign me in. They were like "why tennis?" I was only four-and-a-half at the time and they thought it was good for me to do some sport before I started school. So for my fifth birthday my father bought me a small tennis racket and I started playing."

You make it sound so easy, but was it?

"Well, Serbia doesn't have many clubs and there were no indoor courts, only a swimming pool. So they emptied out the water and put carpet inside to make two single courts. But the side walls were so close that we couldn't really play across court, just down the middle. Now when I look back, I think how could we even practise there? But there are still kids hitting there now."

And the country is producing such great players, like yourself and Novak Djokovic, Jankovic...

"It's very hard to explain. People always used to tell us it was impossible to succeed coming from Serbia, because we don't have good facilities and the coaches are not as good as they are here. But there was something inside us that motivated us to prove that we can be successful. And we motivate each other because when one of us is doing well, the other one wants to prove that he or she can be just as good."

What advice would you give to the LTA, who struggle to produce many top British players?

"They have perfect facilities, great coaches -everything necessary for young people to succeed. But it has to come from the single person, talent is not the only thing needed. There is also a lot of hard work and determination, so you need the right person who has all that. And they need to be strong mentally. Many players practise very well, but once they are on the court competing, they get nervous and can't handle the pressure."

Do you suffer from nerves at all?

"For sure. Before every match I play I get nervous, but they're good nerves. It shows that the game means something. If I'm not nervous I can't perform that well. So I always want to have these positive nerves, and then once I am on court and
I get into a match, they're gone. Before a match I listen to music to take my mind off the pressure. I also try to speak to my coach and maybe even make some jokes before I go on court."

We heard that you used to cry for hours if you lost a match. Should we have bought tissues, or have you found a way of handling defeat now?

"Sometimes I still cry, but it depends. I really don't like to lose at anything I'm doing. Even if it's just a card game or basketball with my brother. I just hate to lose. But you learn through your career that you're going to have many losses and many victories. It's important to learn from your losses and improve. Obviously, it's never easy because I want to win all the time, but that's not possible. You just have to try to win more than you lose."

And you've had plenty of victories in the past year. Can you choose a highlight?

"The final of the French Open and the semi-final of Wimbledon. [We know, that's two. And Ana lost both. But we're keeping schtum]. They are something I'll never forget, and both happened within months of each other so it was an amazing time for me. It's very hard to realise at the time, but later on when I started thinking about it, I was amazed at how far I had gone. I put a lot of hard work in and it was great to see it paying off. My dream is to win a Grand Slam and to become number one, so these were both necessary steps and experiences."

You're always smiling, but there must be something that makes you angry. You can tell us.

"When I see that people are mean to others, or when there is envy - that's something I really don't like. I am happiest when I see that something I did made other people happy. So when I see the opposite, it makes me really angry."

And we wouldn't want that. Speaking of which, what's your relationship like with the other ladies on the WTA tour?

"It's very competitive, so there are a few girls that I have good relationships with but it's hard to say they are my best friends. For example, Hantuchova, Kirilenko, Kuznetsova - they are all very nice and we always have a good laugh and a chat. We see each other all the time when we are travelling, so it's nice to catch up and maybe go for dinner or a drink and just talk normal girl stuff. But it's hard to say they are my best friends, really."

How about your friendship with your fellow Serbian in the top 10 (and Jamie Murray's ‘better half'), Jelena Jankovic?

"What I have with her is very different. We grew up in different parts of Belgrade and as part of different generations - she's two years older than me. What we have in common is playing tennis, but as people we are completely different, so we don't really hang out. In some ways it's a pity, but that's just the way it is. You don't bond with everyone."

What about you and Djokovic? He's an attractive young man, and you must see a lot of each other...

"Well there are so many stories in the newspapers back home in Serbia - they say that we are dating, or at least that we're more than friends. We are good friends and very close, so when we are at tournaments we go out for dinner together. And my family are good friends with his family... I've known him for so long, since we were four."

Ah, the Press. Have you ever told them something you shouldn't?

"A few times. Once they asked me how much tennis players follow the fashion and I said a lot. What I wanted to say was "a little bit". But it's difficult when English is not your first language because sometimes you say something you don't mean."

So you said... what, exactly?

"I said that a lot of players pay attention to the way they look and they put on a lot of make-up when they go on court. Maybe it's not a nice thing to say, but it's true. There are a few of them."

In the top 10?

"Yes. When you are on court you don't want to be worrying that your mascara is running, but there are some players who really do. I'll give you a tip so you can tell who is using make-up. When they take a towel, the girls who are wearing make-up go like this (dabs face delicately), they never rub, so that it doesn't smudge. So you can tell just by watching."

With that, Ana's make-up is complete and we're outside facing the chill while she completes her photoshoot. Tea, snacks and Ana Ivanovic. We'll have more of the same in 2008 please, Mr Editor. He makes us call him that. Yes, really.

Ana Ivanović otkrila kako se zabavlja u Australiji

E, tata, da znaš šta radim

Ana Ivanović, od juče treća teniserka sveta, što joj je najbolji rang u karijeri, dane do prvog meča na Australijen openu provodila je na razne načine, i pomalo opasne.

- Dobro je što moj otac nije sa mnom u Australiji. Verovatno bi doživeo srčani udar da me je video šta sam radila proteklog vikenda. Pred sam početak turnira pela sam se šest spratova improvizovanim stepenicama, koje su više ličile na merdevine, da bih igrala tenis na krovu iznad semafora na stadionu „Melburn kriket kluba“, a onda sam kasnije pozirala nasred ulice pokušavajući da izbegnem tramvaje. U stvari, bilo je veoma zabavno, a rizik da se povredim je bio veoma mali - napisala je Ana Ivanović u blogu za WTA tur.
Srpska teniserka kaže da se u Australiji oduvek odlično oseća, a objasnila je i zašto.
- Divno je imati strica i njegovu porodicu među navijačima, a i moj kondicioni trener Skot Birnes je odavde. U Australiju sam došla prvi put kada sam imala 14 godina da bih igrala juniorski turnir. Moj tadašnji trener Erik van Harpen došao je nekoliko dana kasnije, tako da u međuvremenu nisam imala s kim da treniram. Zbog toga je moj rođak Marko, koji slabo igra tenis (nadam se da se neće naljutiti), bio moj trener nekoliko dana. Na kraju, ja sam osvojila taj turnir i on je praktično najbolji trener koga sam imala: zajedno smo neporaženi!
Ana je otkrila i kako se sa porodicom zabavlja do početka turnira.
- Odlazak na roštilj koje moje rodbine u Mentonu nešto je najlepše tokom mog boravka u Australiji. Prilično sam vezana za porodicu i baš volim opuštanje u bašti s njima i prijateljima uz dobru hranu. To je, inače, ono što mi se mnogo dopada u vezi tamošnjeg života. Takođe, dopada mi se i njihov običaj da provode dosta vremena na plaži - dodala je Ana.

Ana se na tom mecu nas iznervirala. Sa pravom, jer su sudijske greske prevazilazile granicu. U kljucnim trenucima kad je Ana trebala da zavrsi mec, dosle su dve kardinalne greske, posle kojih je Rumunka stala na noge i osvojila 3 gema zaredom. Uprkos tome, Ana je naravno pokazala da je za klasu i vise ispred Rumunke.
Na kraju meca Ana nije htela da se pozdravi sa sudijom. Inace imala je podrsku i nasih navijaca obucenih u dresove Partizana. Doduse bilo je i drugih dresova...

S ovakvom igrom osvaja Australian Open zagarantovano jer kakav ona tenis igra takav ne igra niko na ovom turniru.Bravo Anci.

PS jel zna neko zasto posle svakog poena ona prvo stisne saku i onda krene korak ili dva pa stane i gleda u pod i uvek vrti nesto s nogom ko da ima neke naredbe istu stvar radi i kad ceka na tudji servis,obratite paznju?

[Tuljo]

Ostoja to je garant neki njen ritual, nisam to primetio ali pretpostavljam da mu dodje to!

[shvedja]

Мање више сви тенисери и тенисерке (мада могло би се рећи и спортисти генерално) имају неке своје ритуале. То ти је талија, амајлија, зови ју како хоћеш и у тим индивидуалним спортовима посебно долази до изражаја.

Свака част за нашу Анчи! Јесте видели да је у првом имала 82% први сервис! Стварно импресивно. То јој је раније био један од проблема, и изгледа да га је решила, а поправила је и неке друге недостатке типа излазак на мрежу који јој је такође раније задавао доста проблема. само тако да настави и да чекамо велико финале против малог комарца, габорке из Белгије!

Ипак је сујеверна...

Dnevnik Ane Ivanović iz MelburnaJa sam najsujevernija teniserka

Ana Ivanović će tokom turnira u Melburnu imati povremeno i ulogu novinara. List „The Age“ prenosi često njene zabeleške, a Ana na svom sajtu redovno beleži utiske o svemu što je vezano za australijski grend slem.

- Kažu da ono što te ne ubije, čini te jačim i to je potpuno tačno u vezi mog meča protiv Kirstee. Nisam dobro igrala, ali sam ušla u drugo kolo i to je najvažnije - piše Ivanovićeva.
Nju je najviše iznerviralo to što je „Sokolovo oko“, tehnologija koja presuđuje da li je aut ili ne, zakazala.
- To je Marfijev zakon - baš kada se mašina pokvarila, ja sam htela da tražim najmanje dve provere, ali nisam mogla, i to je bilo tako frustrirajuće.
Poznato je da Ana voli muziku, a ponekad joj se neki refren vrzma po glavi i tokom meča.
- Ranije mi se dešavalo da počnem da razmišljam o tome šta ću raditi posle meča ili da se setim nečeg smešnog što mi je neko rekao ranije. Jednom sam čak razmišljala o tome šta ću reći u završnom govoru posle finala. Takođe, uvek imam u glavi neku pesmu tokom meča. To može da nervira, jer jednostavno ne mogu da je izbacim iz glave. Danas je to bila pesma “Wake up call”, grupe Maroon 5 - piše Ivanovićeva i nastavlja.
- Ja sam verovatno najsujevernija osoba među teniserkama. Izbegavam da stajem na linije, jer verujem da mi to donosi sreću. Ranije bih uvek samo jednom udarila lopticu o podlogu pre servisa, ali sada to radim tačno četiri puta. Imam i svoje rituale. Za vreme Rolan Garosa prošle godine, večerala sam u istom restoranu svako veče, a na Vimbldonu sam ostajala u kući svako veče gde smo sami spremali večeru. Ovde idem svako jutro na isto mesto da kupim svež đus - otkriva Ivanovićeva svoje navike.
