More about Ana Ivanovic

Ana Ivanovic was born to Miroslav and Dragana Ivanovic in the former country of Yugoslavia. Her mother is a lawyer, whereas her father is a self-employed businessman. Ana has a younger brother called Milos. Ana Ivanovic was a huge fan of Monica Seles, who also hailed from Yugoslavia and took up the tennis racket at the age of 5. During the insurgency period in Yugoslavia Ana Ivanovic had to go for training during early morning hours to avoid bombings by the NATO Forces. After overcoming so many difficulties in life and otherwise, Ana Ivanovic was firm to become a tennis player only.

In 2004 Ana Ivanovic reached the Junior Wimbledon final and gained the attention of the tennis fans. A year later in 2005, Ana Ivanovic won her first-ever WTA title by winning the Canberra International. By 2007 Ana Ivanovic was already known as the rising star of women’s tennis and she proved everyone right by winning her first-ever Grand Slam tournament a year after which was the French Open. But due to bad health and repeated injuries by 2009 Ana Ivanovic was out of the Top 20 list of WTA Rankings. After a year Ana Ivanovic made a comeback to tennis and not only that she returned to the Top 20 list again. Because of some of the inconstant performances, Ana Ivanovic could not enter into the Top 10 and in 2013 she couldn’t even win a single WTA tournament!! But in 2014 she made a resurgence and broke into the Top 5 women tennis players of the world.

In 2015, Ana made an impactful appearance in Paris but soon after that injuries took over her health. It was an utterly difficult period for Ana, but she managed to hold her position among her fans and the brands associated with her.

In 2016, Ana got married to the famous German footballer Bastian Schweinsteiger. In the same year, on 28th December 2016, Ivanovic ended her 13-year memorable and inspiring journey with a Facebook post and announced her retirement from tennis.

Two-years back in 2018, Ana and Bastian announced the arrival of their first child – a boy. Currently, Ivanovic resides in Chicago with her family. With her extremely good looks and amazing personality, she is highly popular among the endorsement markets. Not only that, she also enjoys huge popularity on social media
