Ana Ivanovic’s Reflections on Her Career, Mental Toughness, and Signature Tennis Shot

Despite her early retirement, Ana Ivanovic has no regrets and remains content with her decision. She has never entertained the thought of returning to the sport since then.

Ivanovic, a former Serbian World No. 1 tennis player, attained the top ranking by winning the 2008 French Open. At 36 years old, she was also a finalist in the 2007 French Open and the 2008 Australian Open, falling to Justine Henin and Maria Sharapova, respectively. Throughout her career, Ivanovic secured 15 WTA tour singles titles and amassed a total of $15.5 million in prize money.

At the age of 29, the Serb announced her retirement in late 2016, citing injuries as the reason for her decision. She explained that these injuries had hindered her ability to meet the high standards she set for herself.

Last month, while talking with her followers on X (formerly known as Twitter), Ivanovic reassured them that she is satisfied with her decision to retire and admitted that she has never even considered a possible comeback to the sport.

“No, it was the right decision at that time and I now have my beautiful family and still play some tennis from time to time of course,”Ivanovic said.

According to the Serb, having “mental strength, discipline, and consistency”is what distinguishes a good player from a great player.

“I think it’s about mental strength, discipline, consistency and of course always some talent a great player might have some more of,”she said.

Additionally, Ana Ivanovic disclosed that the forehand holds the top spot as her preferred shot in the sport of tennis.

“Forehand”, she wrote when a fan asked to name her favorite tennis shot.
