Published by admin | Filed under Tennis News
Serbian world No.4 Ana Ivanovic is the first of the big-name women to confirm they’re coming to the Sydney International tournament in January.
The 19-year-old French Open finalist will return to the Australian Open warm-up event where this year she reached the quarter-finals to begin a breakthrough 2007.
“We are thrilled that Ana has decided to play here,” tournament director Craig Watson said.
“She is a tremendous young player and we got a glimpse of that at the last Medibank International.
“It tremendous for women’s tennis to see the way she has really burst onto the scene this year.
“She is young and fresh and a great ambassador for the sport. Tennis fans are going to be enchanted by her.”
Armed with a lethal forehand, Ivanovic beat world No.3 Svetlana Kuznetsova and world No.2 Maria Sharapova en route to the final of the French Open against Justine Henin in June.
