Ana Ivanovic who retired in 2016, hinted about her possible comeback next season through an Instagram post of her playing tennis. Fans were delighted and hopeful to see their favorite back in court.
Ana Ivanovic is a former professional tennis player from Serbia. She became the World No. 1 in 2008 and held the top ranking for 12 weeks. She won the 2008 French Open and was also the runners-up at the 2007 French Open and the 2008 Australian Open.
She was born in Serbia, Belgrade in 1987. She picked up the racket for the first time at the age of five after drawing inspiration from watching Monica Seles who is also a Yugoslav on television.
Her professional career started in 2003 and she made her debut at Grand Slam in 2004. She reached the semifinal of the French Open in 2015 and in December 2016 she announced her retirement due to her inability to perform at high standards.
A journalist Jose Morgado took to X and shared her Instagram photo where she is seen playing tennis and mentioned his thoughts on Ivanovic’s possible comeback.
