Ana Ivanovic is regaining confidence after a fall in the ranking that led to 65 th place

Faith moves mountains. It is not just a legend. It is a claim that is regenerated with a simple analysis of specific situations that occur every day. Ana Ivanovic (Belgrade, Serbia, 1987), the former number one WTA Tour, is a good example. In 2008, he won the Roland Garros tournament and climbed to the top of the tennis world rankings fe male. His face appeared on the covers of magazines the most famous varieties, because their quality tennis was accompanied by a picture of aesthetic beauty that is not diluted at all.

However, just after the success of his career, began falling as unexpected as unstoppable. What had happened? Pat Cash, former Wimbledon champion and commentator on American television time, defined in this way, the U.S. Open in 2009, after Serbian tennis player that suffe red the first defe at in the first round in a Grand Slam, "Ana has had a painful experience. You should review your serve and your entire game because he has lost confidence." Yes, the debacle in the world rankings was noisy because of being number one in June 2008, went on to become the 65th in July 2010. And it all boiled down to a matter of faith.

It is true that the way he suffe red several injuries in the thumb (Wimbledon 2008), wrist, abdominal and muscle. But the basic problem was not this, but the loss of trust. During this journey two years, Ivanovic looked for her everywhere, but not rediscovered until he realized that the fundamentals of the solution to your problem should look within itself. "The hardest thing is the pressure I put on myself to return to the summit," recently confe ssed in an interview with a Serbian newspaper. "I play my best tennis when I am relaxed. Therefore, try to think little in qualifying and winning tournaments. Go game by game may seem a cliché, but it is the best way of putting things. "

The answers I sought not found in the changing of coaches who faced between 2008 and 2011. Instead, they came to destabilize so that it was unable even to maintain the effe ctiveness of their service, one of his best shots, and the precision with his drive and his Conversely, weapons that had catapulted into the world elite. Since winning at Roland Garros in June 2008, has failed to overcome a second round of a Grand Slam and has lost three times in the first round. During his fall he broke with his coach, Sven Groeneveld and began working with Craig Kardon. But when he lost his top-ten status at Roland Garros in 2009, he left and returned Kardon Adidas program where Groeneveld recovered and found Darren Cahill Gil Reyes, Agassi's former trainer.

He finished 2009 as the 21 th world. That did not work. And the decision to sign the Swiss Heinz Gunthardt, Steffi Graf exentrenador. His parents also decided to accompany her to every tournament they could with the intention of restoring confidence. And also conducted psychological work to get rid of all its ghosts. After Anthony Van Grich Gunthardt arrived. But since Wimbledon, working with Nigel Sears and fitness trainer Scott Byrnes, who had worked with her some years ago. "I'm happy because after a long time, I think I have hit in the election," now says Ivanovic. "We are working very well with this team. But things do not come from one day to another. The results of my work come next season."

Meanwhile, this season has reached the semifinals in Birmingham and Carlsbad, and now face the second round match the U.S. Open champion at the New York triple Serena Williams. If it reaches the quarterfinals will have achieved its best result in a big since his victory in Paris. If not, seems to have reason to be equally satisfied: it is the 19th player in the world, regains the ranking, for the first time in the last three years she looks happy and enjoying the track. At age 23, has regained faith in herself. It appears that his return to the elite is a matter of months.

Only 3,000 of the 20,000 occupied seats in the Belgrade Arena, and the boxes reserved for political VIPs were empty all weekend.
