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. "

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.

It has been a better experience. He won more games, said Ivanovic to compare this with the defeat he suffered at the Belgian Justine Henin in the final of Roland Garros last year, but I am a little disappointed because I had many opportunities in the first set and took advantage not. It was an experience that taught me, he said.

I felt comfortable out there and I was not ever nervous, perhaps at the beginning like any other party but I had the nerves pretty well today. I knew I had to be aggressive and that kind of game I obviously cause errors and that was the case , Ivanovic said that this Monday will nevertheless as a second player in the world.

But it is a great experience for me, is my second final of a Grand Slam and I can learn from it. Maria has been in this situation many times more than I do, is defended Ivanovic.
