Ana Ivanovic Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Ana Ivanovic:

When people talk about my charm or looks, it is very flattering. Of course, every woman likes compliments, but I don't take them too seriously.

I think it's better not to mix professional life and personal life - although it is hard.

Ana Ivanovic

The media and press can be relentless, especially with women. Personally, while I take pride in my appearance and enjoy the compliments, when I'm on court, it is all about my game.

Ana Ivanovic

When competing a lot and traveling, I have problems with my lower back because I'm always on the plane or sitting. That's something that does bother me from time to time, but I try to stay on top of it.

Ana Ivanovic

I don't really eat fried food. It's definitely a no go for me.

Before a match, I need to be alone. I need to reach concentration and focus on the game ahead of me.

I won two ITF tournaments in Japan in two weeks. I had to qualify for both of them, which meant that I won 16 matches in 15 days.

I think, when I'm on the court, I become with a killer instinct - a real Scorpio.

I lift weights. I'll do a lot of running, a lot of cardio and strengthening. I use my body weight, a TRX sometimes. A lot of it is endurance.

Ana Ivanovic

There's really not much friendship between the girls on tour. There's so much rivalry and jealousy, so everyone just hangs out in their own camp. In the locker room and players' lounge, you can feel the jealousy.

Ana Ivanovic

We are constantly under lots of pressure, so I take lots of time to recover and do all the things I need for my body to be in the perfect state to compete the next day.

Ana Ivanovic

My parents themselves both went to university, and they very much expected me to be an intellectual and go through further education, and it's to kind of their surprise that I became an athlete.

When you mature, you also get more secure about yourself. You see things differently.

I'm very easy-going off court, but I really want to win once I'm walking on to the court.

I have always liked my hair when it's braided, because if I don't, it kind of runs in my eyes when I hit.

Everything in moderation. I keep a healthy body, a healthy look. It's important not to be obsessive about anything - fitness, training, eating - because then you end up focusing on only that. And you can't obsess about anything when you're on the road.

Ana Ivanovic

Everyone wants to be happy - people find happiness in different ways. While you want to pursue your career 100 percent, I think it is very hard to give 100 percent in something else. It's important to find this balance, and priorities change throughout life.

Ana Ivanovic

Obviously, if some young girl wants my advice and wants me to be her mentor, I would be very happy to offer that. But I don't really see myself as a coach.

I use Moroccanoil shampoo and conditioner.

Our job is quite strange in that we hire a coach, and therefore, we're the boss. But coaches tell us what to do, and I think some coaches might struggle with the idea of a girl being the boss and telling them, 'I don't want to see you now. I want to have some time to myself.'

I believe I have quality, and that's why I won a grand slam, so I know I can do it again.

I love to run. It's how I clear my head.

I think, in every person's life, you have ups and downs. You learn so much about yourself, sometimes even more, in the down times. Unfortunately, I had to go through it in public, which was not easy.

Ana Ivanovic

For my fifth birthday, I got a small tennis racket. That's how I started.

Ana Ivanovic

I know that us girls aren't the easiest to coach.

Ana Ivanovic

There aren't many woman coaches in general, and I actually think it's good to have a male coach. Guys and girls have different mentalities. Girls are so stressed about everything. Guys take everything much more lightly. That's great, and it's something we have to learn from. I think one woman on a team is enough!

Fame and success and titles stay with you, but they wear out eventually. In the end, all that you are left with is your character.

It's important to understand that you have to dedicate time to your sponsors, to have relationships with the people and the media, but it is also hard when you are first coming up and your primary focus is on tennis.

The time during bombings was definitely difficult for everyone. My parents, they really protected me from it, and we came through together.

I'm quite an emotional person. I cry a lot. I do not like conflict, so if I have an argument with my parents, I'll often cry. I become too emotional.
