Ana Ivanovic: No me molesta que me digan sexy, pero tengo claro que mi prioridad son las canchas "I guess any woman bothers you to take the sexy label, is a complement, but I have it clear that my work and my priority are on the slopes. This happens very quickly and without results there is nothing to do, "Ivanovic said in an interview with Spanish newspaper Aires

On its current level, the WTA ranking number 58 said he would work to return to the top, it just needs "a little more consistency, continuity, and to rediscover the pattern of play," because the injuries he has suffered have caused lose some training and, therefore, confidence in his game.

"I do not know if Serena is invincible, but it is very hard. His style is different, powerful, has an excellent service and that's important," he explained, "the return of Clijsters and Henin is good for women's tennis. They left too are two real young talent who still have an excellent physical. "

Male branch praised Federer and Nadal, considering that they are "two different styles. Rafael Roger is the excitement and calm, but both played unbelievable. "

Finally, Ivanovic said that the pause of a few months in professional tennis that made last year helped him rediscover his love of sports, plus that helped him mature as a professional and leave some speculating that he had.

"I felt the need, after a few years, taking a break to consider it necessary for me. I think it was the first time I was four weeks without playing tennis and allowed me to return with more win, "he argued.

"So I have no superstitions, I try to forget it, because I saw a bit abscurdo do not change things like clothing, occupy the same clothes, the same shower," he concluded.
