“I always receive unbelievable support from my family,” says Ana. “I owe them a lot”.
Ana is very close to her family and vice versa; they attend tournaments whenever they can. Her mother Dragana is omnipresent throughout the year, while father Misha and brother Milos always attend the French Open and Wimbledon plus a few other events each year.
During Ana’s meteoric rise in 2007, the tale of how she met and started a professional relationship with Swiss businessman Dan Holzmann became a story in itself. The 38-year-old first met Ana when she was 14 and was immediately impressed with her credentials.
Ana was in need of financial assistance as she chased her goal of becoming a professional. Dan, who is the chief executive of NSA AG, a licence holder of Juice PLUS + ®, the world’s biggest-selling nutritional supplement in capsule form, invited Ana and her family to meet him in Basel.
Having served as a consultant to dh management for two years before his permanent appointment, Gavin is primarily responsible for Ana's media activities, including arranging interviews, attending photoshoots, and overseeing her website. He also serves as a client manager for Ana's sponsors.
Gavin graduated from the University of Cambridge in 2004. By this time he had already established himself as a leading tennis writer, after co-authoring an exclusive about match-fixing that appeared on the front page of The Sunday Telegraph a year earlier.
Strength and Conditioning coach Prasad joined Ana's team right at the end of 2009, having been a key player in the Australian Institute of Sport's Tennis Programme.
As well as being a fitness expert the Victoria resident is a soft tissue therapist, and he has a Masters of Exercise Science.
He formerly worked with many professional tennis players, including Nadia Petrova and Eleni Daniilidou and ATP performers Nicolas Kiefer, Wayne Arthurs and Raemon Sluiter.

Alex is a proud supporter of FC Basel and follows Ana's progress keenly.
