Ana talks about the match



“I feel really comfortable in the environment I have now. I think that's been the biggest change. It was tough one. It was kind of radical because you always have so many people on your team,” she said.


 “But I really feel it's helped my game a lot, and my mental side as well. It's been great.”“I worked a lot on my game in the off‑season. When I'm out there I really know what I have to do and I stay with it. I'm more persistent and confident in that because I know that's what's going to give me results and help me to play better,” she revealed.


 “It might not work on a given day and I try to adjust. In the long run, in the big picture, that's what's going to get me back to the top.”“Today at times I felt maybe I was a little too passive. I could have been more aggressive,” Ivanovic reflected.


 “(But) I really tried to pick the right ball to come in and be aggressive. That's something I worked a lot also on my spin, on my forehand, so I don't play as flat as I used to. It's working really well. I can sort of push opponents around the court.” 


 "There are no easy matches. Next round again is going to be tough one. But I feel like I'm getting into the tournament,” she said. 


 “It's nice to get some wins and be in contention to play against top players.”
