"Before my tennis was a priority, I was 100 percent focused on it, but the older you get, the interest for other things. Now I want to spend more time with friends and family. Of course, this does not mean that my career is over, I would love to be on top again, "conveyed the" Journal "Jankovic statement.

"Pavel was in London with me, but I'm not sure if we will extend cooperation,".

Hmmm... who would have known by the way she has played in the last two months... the motivation is gone I guess...

I don't care about 'being at the top' that means nothing these days. I'd have loved for Jelena to have won a singles slam, but she blew those 2-3 chances :sobbing:

Why so many snide remarks on her comments? Jelena isnt the type to lie. She speaks her mind and tells it like it is.

What a bunch of Grump-o-saures's in here. Maybe she really feels this way?:confused:

I called that she was burnt out months ago. Hanging on for the spotlight of the tour is not enough.

Drama Queen. You are only young once--you only have a certain amount of time to be a top player--after you retire (around 30) you will most likely have another 40+ years to be grown up and spend time with friends and family. I think she will regret this.

I love you Jelena, but I have no sympathy for you. All these girls on the tour play tennis because it is their top priority and thy want to win, become the best. And you, with all your potential could really get something big out of your career if you too felt the same as most other girls. Since you don't, then leave. There is no point for you to play on the tour and sit a rank way below your tennis level and not give a damn. She either get motivated, retire and come back motivated, or retire for good. Just hanging around doing nothing and being a loser isn't helping anyone. Especially your fans, who cheer for you and hope you'll do us proud by winning and giving it your all on court.
