Ana Ivanovic..number 1 again

Fans of Ivanovic were greeted with a heartfelt letter on Ana's official site.

"Instead of being patient and accepting that my best form was almost impossible due to physical limitations, I was always over-thinking things, and I never dealt with it very well. The season was a continuation of going from one disappointment to another. If I had dealt better with these setbacks, I would have had a lot more success.

I also found it very tough to switch off and have a proper break over the past year or so, partly because of these physical problems. Actually, I don't think I can remember the last time I had a proper holiday: I was always doing some kind of fitness or recovery work during my holidays, and that meant that I wasn't able to switch off from tennis. I guess I just want it so badly."

I for one, am glad Ana decided to shut down early to recover, I hope she's off somewhere at some undisclosed location like you see at the end of movies after the hero saves the day, it's sunny, clear blue water, and relaxing, because she needs it. I'm sure most fans of Ivanovic are glad she decided to shut it down early this year to recover from her rather minute injuries that held her back from playing to her fullest potential, it got so bad during the course of the season she even had to change the way she served, which took away from the intensity and power that it once had.

"Despite my disappointments there is not a single doubt in my mind that I will reach the top again and win Grand Slams."

I along with the rest of your fans will be waiting! To the top again!
