Beautiful tennis champion rising like a phoenix.


You can really hear the difference in how hard she constantly hits the ball than Safina in the first clip. Ana has mad talent and I really do look forward to seeing her produce the high quality of tennis that we all know she is capable of.

Ana vs Safina 2008 French Open Highlights (Great points)

Ana vs Jelena (great match highlights great defense from JJ & some lethal forehands from Ana)

Ana vs Kuznetsova Indian Wells Final (I miss seeing Ana this happy & you can see the difference in her with confidence)

Ana vs Hingis 2006 (Playing with no pressure)

Ana is so exciting to watch and she really is good for the tour. I know that she can play like this because this is the game and talent that she has. This time she will be even better because now she has experience and she has learned to deal with the pressure. Once she returns to form it will be very interesting. I really hope she wins against Aga.

Ana vs Aga 08 Linz (Ana & Aga seem to have some interesting matches but Ana you've beat her before so you can beat her again)

We all know she can play number 1 player tennis, too bad she can´t play like that anymore, and it´s all about confidence, which is clearly near zero for her...

if she regains her confidence from 2006-2008, she will be back to the very top of women´s game again, it all depends on her mental side

The big question is obviously whether she can get back to that sort of play. I do agree with the OP though, it would be interesting to a reformed Ivanovic after 2+ years of slumping, you'd have to see hope her mental strength would have improved. Her experiences in the last 2 years should be making her more resilient.

I miss those days. :sobbing: Ana used to play such beautiful tennis. Now she is a complete mess. If she can beat Radwanska tomorrow which would be her first top ten win in a year and a half, maybe that will be the beginning of her renaissance. Please Ana, return to your old form. It's been missed and tennis is better off when you are playing great. :)

:lol: That match was in late 08 during Ana's horrible stint at number 1. By no means her best form, but definately above her level of late.

I don't care if the thread is moved to the player forum, but why must people come here and bash? Ana hasn't given you a reason to hate her for a long while now, let us reminisce in peace :wavey:

Why was this thread moved to the players forum when you have the Jelena thread still going in the general section & the I miss when Maria plalyed like this thread still going in the general section. There is no reason this should have been moved when it is in similar content & has other players in the videos. I will be asking the mods to move this back to the general section because I believe in being fair.
