Ana Ivanovic was interview by Saibal Bose for "The Times of India", one of the world's biggest selling newspapers.
Here is an extract from the interview:
How serious is your knee injury? Is it a setback ahead of your French Open title defense?
Ana: It’s for sure a setback. I haven’t had the preparation I wanted, but there’s nothing I can do about it. Injuries are the most frustrating thing about being a professional tennis player, but you just have to accept that they are part of the game. But I have to stay positive. I didn’t play many matches before the French Open last year either.
Almost one year after winning the French Open, how do you look back at the victory?
Ana: It’s for sure the highlight of my career so far. It was amazing to win my first Grand Slam and become No.1 in the world for the first time in just 48 hours. It was an amazing experience and something I look back on with a lot of joy and pride.
Tennis has seen a number of early retirements/burnouts, the latest being Justine Henin. How do you counter the stress of a top-flight tennis player?
Ana: I think it’s very important to have the right balance. I cannot comment on other players because I don’t know about them and everyone is different. But for myself, I can say that I have some interests away from the court, for example studying finance and learning Spanish, and I always make sure I have some time to relax and recover. At times I feel like I don’t have enough time to myself, but I’m working on that!
