SURPRISES

In the 2013 season, Jelena Jankovic surprised a lot of people with her performances. There were not many expectations from her before the start of the season, but, she played some high quality tennis especially in the second half of the season and ended up making big strides in the world rankings. At the start of the season, she was not even in top 20, but, when the season got over, she was ranked 8th in the world.

Although, Jankovic won only one singles title in the last season but, she looked in good touch in almost every tournament that she participated in. She reached the title round in a couple of tournaments and in the last tournament of the season i.e. WTA Championships, she had almost got the better of the no. 1 player in the world Serena Williams.

Jankovic is 28 years of age at the moment and this is the age at which the game of most of the tennis players starts to come down a little bit, but, with the Serbian player, it’s exactly the opposite. She seemed to have improved in the last season. She was definitely at her best in the later parts of the season.

Jankovic is one of those players who are comfortable playing on all sorts of surfaces. It’s not that she is a weaker player on a particular kind of surface, but, in the last season, her best performances had come on clay courts. At Roland Garros, she had made her way to the quarter final round where she was up against one of the world’s best players Maria Sharapova and she had gone very close to beating her.

After the way she played in the last season, Jankovic is definitely one of the players to watch out for next year. She would like to move further up in the WTA rankings.

JANKOVIC PROUD

Jelena Jankovic has congratulated the Serbian national team for making their way into the final of the Davis Cup.

Serbia defeated Canada by 3-2 in the semi final tie played a few days back. Now, they will face Czech Republic in the final.

That final tie will start from 15th of November and will take place at Belgrade Arena, Belgrade.

In one of her recent interviews, when Jankovic was asked about that semi final clash between Serbia and Canada, she said, “I watched all the matches and I am glad that the team stood up to the expectations. Hopefully, they come on top in the final tie as well and prove that they are better than any other side at the moment.”

This has been a decent season for Jankovic so far. She has been consistent in the last few months and has defeated some higher ranked players. As a result of that, she has recently made her way back into top 10 after a gap of 2 years.

When asked about her performance in the ongoing season, Jankovic said, “I have been trying to make improvements right from the start of the season and I think I have been able to do that. I had come into the season with the target of making it to the top 10 again and now that I have achieved that target, I am looking forward to the masters.”

When asked what she will be doing when she decides to hang her racquets, Jankovic said, “I have got a lot of interest in acting. Designing is also something which I like.”

When asked about Vanja Udovicic who has recently been appointed as the sports minister of Serbia, Jankovic said, “I want to give him my best wishes. Hopefully, he does a lot of good work for sports in our country.”
