Ана Иванович 3

[marto]

Eто, че се стигна до квалификации

Note - Crowd favourite and former World No. 1 Ana Ivanovic will play the qualifying at the Rogers Cup. Ranked a lowly No. 65, with an 11-12 record on the season, it appears the 2006 Montreal Rogers Cup champion won't be favoured over the Canadian players when the tournament hands out its wild cards. That certainly will add some spice to the qualifying weekend, which has been expanded to a 64-player draw and starts a day early this year -appropriately enough on Friday, Aug. 13.

Най-вероятно и в Синсинати ще се наложи подобно нещо

Ана се изкачва с две позиции и вече е 63-ата. Другата седмица почва турнира в Стандфорд

Ana Ivanovic I've been training in Spain this week with my coach Heinz Gunthardt. It is so hot here!! Even when we timed the practice to take place during the cooler hours of the day, around 6pm, it has still been boiling hot!

Ана Иванович поиска WC (уайлд кард) от организаторите на състезанието с награден фонд $2,000,000, но такава и бе отказана за сметка на канадската №2 Стефани Дюбоа.

Ана е получила дива карта за Синсинати, така че ще се наложи да играе само квалификации в Канада

Ами освен да пожелаем на Ана лек жребий в квалификациите.

Ana returns to action at the Bank of the West Classic, which begins in Stanford on Monday. It will be the 22-year-old’s first tournament since Wimbledon last month, and her first outing in the 2010 Olympus US Open Series.

Ana entered the tournament late following her Wimbledon exit and was thus granted a wild card for an event that she has not before played. The tournament, close to San Francisco, California, is a favourite among players because of its serene surroundings.

From Stanford Ana will head south to the Mercury Insurance Open in San Diego, where she has also been granted a wild cad. She has played the tournament once before, in 2006 when she reached the third round on her way to winning the US Open Series.

Ana’s third event of the US hard court summer will be the Western & Southern Financial Group Women's Open in Cincinnati, Ohio. The tournament debuted on the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour calendar last year, with Ana reaching the second round. At time of writing she is one place off direct entry into the main draw, but her participation has been guaranteed by the offer of a wild card if necessary.

Ana, who won the Rogers Cup in 2006 as an 18-year-old, has had her request for a wild card in Montreal declined, and so she would have to play qualifying in order to compete in Canada – her ability to do so dependent on her results in Cincinnati during 9-15 August.

The US Open begins in New York on 30 August. Please check back for any changes to Ana’s schedule

1. As a career, how has professional tennis treated me, great or poor? If I was not a tennis player, what else would I be doing? An office job?

A: I think professional tennis has treated me very well. I am extremely lucky that ...I have a job that I love, and one that allows me to see the world. If I wasn't a tennis player I would maybe train as a psychologist.

2. Who was I rooting for in the World Cup?

A: Serbia of course!

3. What is my favourite racket to use?

A: My Yonex RQ iS 1 Tour XL 95. I believe that Yonex makes the best rackets.

4. You said you prefer cooking to cleaning, what kind of dishes are you good at?

A: I prefer cooking to cleaning, but I'm not very good at cooking, unfortunately. The best dish I can make is Mexican fajitas.

добра победа

[marto]

Честно казано, не очаквах много от този мач, но Ана е играла доста добре според лайвскора, допуснала е само един пробив, които е бил в първият и гейм.

Ana Ivanovic I think the biggest thing today was my fitness. I was getting to every ball and managed to keep the rallies going so I didn’t have to pull trigger too early. That put me at ease. I managed to stay strong. Alisa is a tough opponent and I think hard courts are probably her best surface. I am very happy with the victory today.

Taка Ана спечели 60 точки, а следващата съперничка е Бартоли/Харкълроуд

[marto]

Aна ще играе срещу Бартоли в четвъртък срещу петък от 05:00

Ana Ivanovic It was so nice to visit the Children’s Hospital at Stanford today. Seeing the kids made me think a little bit wider and appreciate what I’ve got. Wins come and go but your health is what’s important. It made me feel good to see the children smile.

Очаквано 3:6 4:6 и турнира приключи, сега чакаме Сан Диего от понеденик
