Ana was among a large group of WTA players who took to the main stadium court at the Ariake Coliseum on Sunday morning, to show their support for the victims of March's earthquake and tsunami disaster.
The players wore special "Tennis for Japan" t-shirts that carried the slogun "Our thoughts are with you". During the informal ceremony the players stood in unison and held up a banner that they had signed that read "gambaro! nippon!", a sentiment expressed to lift one's spirits.
Ana's first round match at the Toray Pan Pacific Open, against Russian-born Australian qualifier Anastasia Rodionova, is scheduled to take place at 11am local time (4am Central European Time; 10pm Eastern Time Sunday) on Monday.
