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.
"Ivanovic is a really super nice girl. I know her a little bit more, and I’m a big fan of hers."
Ana was interviewed yesterday for Le Quotodien, the daily tournament magazine of Roland Garros. The following is a reproduction of the question-and-answer session:
1. What’s your favourite word?
Ajde, which means “come on” or “let’s go” in Serbian. I say it to myself a lot on the court to stay energised.
