Back to work with Sven Groeneveld, the coach who took her to number 1 in 2008 · Debuts in Australia to a player from the pre · think any tennis player in the Top-Ten is a favorite for the title, although she "will go on all "

Ana Ivanovic (Belgrade, 1987) wants to leave behind an early 2009 full of bumps in the finished not raise its head. The Serbian tennis players, currently ranked at position 21 in the WTA rankings, faces filled 2010 enthusiasm and with hope and confidence to return to be among the largest. For now, the first challenge is clear: win the Open de Australia.

Ana Ivanovic, su primer reto es ganar el Open de Australia y llegar al top-ten We passed in 2009, a year that was not particularly good for you. What happened? It was a very disappointing season for me. To be honest, I autoexigí too, that was the real problem. It was a year where I had a lot of little injuries that I never recover and I ended up obsessed with finding my best, something that never came. Of course, I am now better and excited about the new season.

What do you think of returning to the circuit of Justine Henin and Kim Clijsters? It's good for women's tennis. The elite women's tennis is very competitive now, with players of all ages and with different playing characteristics. Kim, Justine and the Williams sisters are experienced players for his age, but then there are young with a lot of quality as Caroline Wozniacki or Victoria Azarenka. It will be an exciting season, I'm sure.

Think you can win the Open de Australia 2010: I always believe I can win any tournament, if not, would not make sense out on the track to play. I won some matches in Brisbane last week (def Jelena Dokic, Timea Baszky and Anastalia Pavlyuchenkova and lost to Justine Henin in the semifinals) that have given me some confidence, but in Melbourne I'd rather go game by game in Rather than get the victory target from the beginning.

Who do you think are now the rivals to beat? The level of women's tennis is very high right now. There are so many players who are capable of winning a Grand Slam that each party becomes virtually a final. Anyone who is in the Top Ten is a sure bet to win in Australia.

What are your goals this season? I qualify for the Sony Ericsson Championships Doha (the WTA Championships) because that means I'm among the eight best rackets in the world. But my main goal is to win another Grand Slam. I will fight for it.
