Couple days before draw ceremony I only wish Ana to escape in 3rd round two best 9-16 seeds Serena Williams and Kim Clijsters. In that case everything will be in Ana's hands for at least solid result here - she is healthy, have good coach and hers FH is back already several months ago (so its all on her how often she want to use that).

Good luck on draw dear Ana, and please listen your coach when he tell you to not panic and to play aggressive!

Don't know what to expect

...
Hope she won't lose in R1...

Cp6uja, man, you have no mercy. As if it's not enough that she is with that Scott again, you had to open another thread.

But, I love your new sig

Eternal optimist.

No matter how things looks bad at the moment, we should never forget that Ana is former #1, GS champion and AO finalist.
Also she is healthy and still one of seeded players, so of course that first major of the season deserve new thread.

I understand why people here worry about Ana, but compared to start of last season when we all have so big expectations she is at least healthy and have very serious coach. So like this thread title suggest - Everything is possible... especially if she not draws in early 3rd round Kim or Serena

Melbourne loves Ana, Ana loves Melbourne.

BTW that tall blonde girl from pic on opening post is Ana's new sparing partner.

Nice, they both need some confidence.

doni1212 · Jan 11th, 2012, 07:26 PM

I'm not sure they were hitting together because you can't hear Maria's grunts when Ana is hitting the ball. I think she was practicing with someone else.

Nena_xxx · Jan 11th, 2012, 08:42 PM

I don't think that they practiced together. It's just video showing who practice in Melbourne.

Linguae^ · Jan 11th, 2012, 10:07 PM

Everything's really possible. I like those pictures from Hisense Arena. I think she's ready to rock, she will buy some confidence as the tournament goes on.

Maybe Ana at early beginning of practice sessions says hers new sparing partner "shut-up or I will fire you!"

JK. Of course they not practice together - otherwise internet media around world will be full of pics from that happening. But way how theirs yesterdays night sessions are presented in Australian media really suggest that AO 2008 finalists Ana and Maria practiced together, so I just repeated that to bring some life into this thread.

As Ana Ivanovic fans we are not enough excited

like we should to be just about 24 hours before draw of first grand slam of the season!

After Sydney I think she will lose R1 at AO again.

Why are you always so negative?! Who needs a fan like that?!

Ana will prove all of us wrong at this year's Open. Just watch out, maybe her game gets underway right here, in Melbourne. You never know that, but she showed some glimpses of her good form recently and Nigel's always there, so she's maybe able to reach her first QF since her FO title?

R1: Domingez-Lino
R2: Krajcek-Barrois
