In the second round of Madrid open probably the most interesting match will be Ana Ivanovic vs Jelena Jankovic. I just don't think they'll be smiling like this tomorrow...
Jelena Jankovic is furious with Ana because she did not turn up for the recent Federation Cup tie showdown with Slovakia, which Serbia unfortunately lost 3-2. Ana withdrew because of the bad form. But that's not the reason why JJ and everybody else were mad about. The problem is because Ana didn't even show up in Belgrade to support her team.
While on the other hand, Jelena endured a miserable 48-hour journey from the United States to Belgrade, rather than let Serbia play the crucial tie without her. She traveled from Florida to Tel Aviv and after a seven-hour stop, she traveled to Cyprus before finally arriving in Belgrade.
"I felt like a zombie," she said. "I'd had no sleep, my left wrist was swollen and I hadn't hit a ball for a week. But I am a patriot."
"I just have to play tennis with whoever is on the other side of the net," said JJ. "In Federation Cup, you don't play for [ranking] points or money, you are just playing for your incountry, for the love of the people."
"It would have been nice even if Ana had just been sitting on the bench and supporting the team, even if she felt she could not play. If we play with the strongest team, we can beat the best. That is why it is disappointing Ana was not there. But it's her choice." JJ added.
And Ana...well she was enjoying with her boyfriend Adam Scott in Marbella at that time and didn't bather to much to comment anything.
