Ana "I'm not afraid of anyone!"

Ivanovic says that she will start again in the world top. I play to win all rivals, and the 2012th attack the top 10 and Grand Slam title - said the former first player of the world

WHEN in 2003. The Dutch coach Eric Van Harpen said that by 2012. Ana Ivanovic will become number one in the world and Grand Slam champion, the individuals in our country were laughing and shaking their rough hands.

Only, all of these unfaithful Tome vigorously choked and bit her tongue when she was a Serb, long before the above deadline, 2008. raised the cup high Roland Garros and became the best on the planet.

A similar situation is to some extent, repeated today, when the Anna's optimistic statements that will stay below 20 places on the list will soon become history and that he will return to the top, many regard with skepticism. Night-time critics do not have this time to bite their tongues, but to show patience and wait for a new team, led by British coach Nigel Sears, begin to make the first results.

And they both said Ivanovic in an exclusive interview with "Evening News" on the doorstep.
- With Nigel I started working after Wimbledon, and we came to be continuously ready, because they soon tournaments. However, after Bali, we are waiting a long preparation for 2012. that we take the best possible way. Our aim is that from the first tournament next year go full force. Of course, not easy to play quality competition after a long preparation, but I want to start from Brisbane fulfillment plans. The first is to get into the top ten and not attack any of the Grand Slam titles. I know it can - says Ana.


However, in the last three years have only won two titles, the smaller tournaments (Bali and Linz). On what, then, build your optimism?

- Yes, I am aware of that. But there are examples, such as Petra Kvitova, which did not win many tournaments, and has reached Grand Slam crown. Women's tennis is now such that you can not beat anybody, but that in the first round of play with a dangerous opponent. I have received Zvonareva and Kuznetsova circuit round in China, and with the opponents I could meet in the semifinals or finals of a Grand Slam.

Is there a rival to fear?

- No, not really there. However, the toughest opponent that I can western Serena Williams. It is a game where you can not enter into the rhythm. I think I can win it all. So here, the bell is number three in the world and I got by far. When I relaxed, and when you do not analyze too much on the field, I have a chance against all the players.

You get the best, and quite often do you lose an average of rivals in the early stages of the tournament. Why?


- There is a very important confidence. I had a lot of negative experiences and lost matches that should not happen. So I have more pressure and anxiety when I play with players who really need to get. However, I feel somehow that all changed for the better. In recent months I have some important victories, which will give me security. The game which I showed in the tournament in Beijing is a recipe that leads me to the top.

How do you comment on the story that no longer have a malicious motive, to play just because of commitments to sponsors and that there is no hunger for tennis and results?

- Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I know the truth, and I know what it is that motivates and inspires me. I have a great desire to win another Grand Slam, because I think it can. I do what at this point I think is best for me. There were many people who gave me the wrong advice, it is able to prevent and divert from the road. But I went through a lot and now I can own to make some decisions and choices. I know that my goal and what I want.

Are you satisfied with 26th place that currently occupy?

- Of course not. I find it very difficult, because I used to be at the top, although I do not look so much on marketing. I want to win tournaments, so I know it will be a better ranking. At competitions I have a feeling that people look at me that I am number one or number five, as I was at the top. In a way it creates pressure. Previously, I was ready to fulfill those expectations, but now that I play, I think that I belong to the top. However, to have and to prove the results, to which I am ready - concluded Ivanovic.
