Ana has been losing weight steadily this last year now.
Yes, she does look nice off the court, in commercials and still ads; but is she flirting with danger?
I say that because Ana is naturally a big girl, the weight she is at now seems a bit artificial; like a ballet dancer or runway model asked to lose to weight to keep her job.
Another concern is, she may not stop here and may continue to shed more pounds/kilos
When Ana won RG, she was an healthy looking athlete, proportionally built.
She played well in this tournament, but I would hate to see her play level drop and hampered because she does not have enough energy reserve.
We are told that her trainer back when she won RG has joined her team.
Maybe he'll take note of this and make a professional judgement.
He may decide that this is a healthy weight for Ana and make no big deal of it.
Note: This is not a Ana bashing thread, I know it is a challenge to resist gratuitous swipe at players, but this is not and not meant to be one of those threads.
Remember when I said to you couple of days ago on some other topic how people in Serbia are reacting on every news about Ana. Same thing here, sometimes it seems to me exactly what I said to you: they are jealous of her success and looks, waiting for a chance to make jokes about her, but they are actually ridiculous. Then you said to me I am treating them like immatures. Well, this proves most of them are immature. Sadly, people are like wolfs who wait for a chance to provoke successfull people.
Now about what you said... Yes, she lost some weight, but I don't see that like a problem, at least for now. She is actually moving faster on court, and her forehand still remains powerfull. Her only problem is lack of self confidence during matches, but that will come with her becoming complete player in the future. But I agree, it would be interesting to hear what some other experts think about her weight at the moment. We'll se how she'll play in 2013. I hope it will be a season when she'll be back in top 10, and become consistent again. Do you agree?
Re: Ana Ivanovic's Dramatic Weight Loss: Any One Concerned Yet??
I agree she has been losing weight steadily and already showed my concern around january/february when I was alot more of a fan.
I grown less interested in her but still find it somewhat worrying, but she has new fitness coach now so I think he definately discusses such issues with her.

I thought she looked good. Her arms and legs had muscle tone, they weren't just skin and bones. She probably shouldn't lose too much more weight but she looked very healthy to me.

I don't think she's too skinny now, she needed to lose weight I think. THat will help her game alot. Of course she can't lose much more from now on but it seems to work for her. She was never fat but she was less "fit" than most of the top10 girls. I think it's all ^positive, it's not really dramatic etheir lol.
She looks great. If this were 3000 years ago we would all look like this. Having to actually hunt our food and exercising constantly would make us totally ripped.
Unfortunately nowadays everyone is so fat that what is considered "normal" is actually overweight.
You are making something out of nothing. To me, Ana looks fine, this is all based on your own personal speculation. Only Ana and those around her know her situation, and for you (or a commentator) to call her anorexic is not appropriate.
she was kind of fat when she won RG.
She's skinny now and not unhealthily so but I hope that she didn't just shed the pounds but instead replaced it with lean muscle. She needs to pull a davenport 2005 (who was also a big girl) and get herself lean and muscley.
Im actually noticing a BIG difference from late last year to early this year.....i thought she look FANTASTIC last year, also midway this year shes gained some muscle and now she looks like shes lose some weight......shes known to be up and down when it comes to weight......2007-2010 she looked PERFECT!!!!!!
It's the same for Ivanovic as any athlete. First find a weight where you don't get sick, then add or lose weight to find your best performing weight. For most tennis players, that's less not more. As long as she's menstruating and not getting sick, she should keep losing weight as long as her results keep improving.
How she LOOKS at a given weight is a non-issue. It's all about health and performance.
