About Ana

Greetings from Monterrey, Mexico Apr 1st 2013

I finally made it to Monterrey! For years now Hernan, the tournament director, and his family have been inviting me and unfortunately it's never fit with my schedule, but this year we made it work :)

I felt that I reached a very high level of tennis in Miami, and it was important that I play another tournament soon after, rather than waiting almost a month until the Fed Cup.

The Sierra Madre Tennis Club is a beautiful facility, with mountains in the background. I've been humbled by the welcome I've received, and flattered by all the kind words of the local tennis fans.

Jumeirah Magazine interview May 15th 2013

Ana is featured in the new issue of Jumeirah Magazine, which is published by an affiliate of her sponsor, Dubai Duty Free.

The following is a transcript of the interview:

Can you begin by telling us about your journey into tennis? 

Did you know?

  • Ana has never lost to an Italian player. She is 14-0 in matches on the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour
  • As a child, Ana trained in an empty swimming pool in Belgrade. The April 11 sports center housed an Olympic-sized pool but could not afford to keep it heated during the winter, so installed carpet courts
  • Ana still has her first ever racquet, which her father gave her for her fifth birthday. It's in the cupboard of her bedroom
  • Ana is a superstitious person. Among her luck-related rituals are avoiding stepping on the lines of the court and wearing certain outfits. If she finds a coin during a tournament, she always keeps it for good luck
