First Eurovision, now this! Only joking!
It's fantastic isn't it compared to the UK!
There was a recent press article saying how Ivanovic used to have to practice in a dis-used swimming pool, and that she and the other Serbian players had no support. Jankovic was considering quitting, and Ivanovic and Djokovich were thinking of coming to Britain. Good for them that they have stayed true to their home country despite the poor support. British players get far more financial support and still can't deliver.
It really is a testament to the talent of the Serbian players.
In a recent interview both Jelena and Ana said some nice things about remaining cheerful and putting tennis in perspective. Both great ambassadors for the game. Love them both.

Fantastic! We surely couldn't have expected to be in this position 2 years ago.
Good luck to both Ana and Jeca in their semis
