Here is the Adidas dress for Ana Ivanovic at Wimbledon 2012. The clothing item is called Adidas Women’s Lawn Adizero Dress and comes in white with an infrared line cruising from back to front.
What do you think?
Maria Kirilenko was forced from the Russian Fed Cup lineup because she re-injured her leg. Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova played in Maria’s place, but lost against both Jelena Jankovic and Ana Ivanovic. Serbia won the tie 3-2 with Jankovic sweeping Svetlana Kuznetsova, 6-1, 6-4, in the clinching match.
Ana Ivanovic played some great tennis yesterday at the Indian Wells 2012 tournament. Ivanovic won through over defending champion Caroline Wozniacki 6-3 6-2.
“I was really looking for opportunities, and, you know, trying to come in, as well, whenever I had chance, and trying to step in from both sides and trying to stay calm in my serve and execute the way I was executing in practice,” said Ivanovic in her post match press conference. “I really managed to do that well today.”
Ana Ivanovic has knocked out Francesca Schiavione at the Dubai Open yesterday 6-1 7-5.
“I believe I can get back to the top and win a grand slam again – that’s why I am here,” said Ivanovic.
This is what former World No. 1 Ana Ivanovic will wear at the 2012 French Open!
Kim Clijsters talks to the press after her second round win over Ana Ivanovic at the Brisbane International 2012.
Sloane Stephens had an amazing run at the US Open 2011. Sloane made it all the way to the third round before she was defeated today by Ana Ivanovic 6-3 6-4. Ivanovic will now take on Serena Williams in the fourth round.
Sloane received a wildcard into the main draw and she really made the most of it. To her credit she played a great match, but really struggled to hold serve against Ivanovic.
Im sure we will be seeing a lot more of Sloane at the US Open.
It seems as though Ana Ivanovic might be back with her ex-boyfriend Adam Scott. The Australian golfer has been spotted in Ana’s players box during her US Open first round match.
When asked if they were back together again, Ivanovic said: “It was really nice to see him there. Now we’re just happy, and that’s all that matters.”

Ana Ivanovic will also be sporting the adizero Feather dress at the US Open 2011. Here is what she will look like.
Nigel Sears was praying that Ana Ivanovic could actually get some form on the court, but it still seems to be eluding her.
Ana was leading 30-0 and serving for the second set in her match against Morita, but could find a way to close that set out and eventually lost 6-2 7-5.
It seems like Ana is struggling with her confidence at the moment and it is now being moved to her results on the court. Potentially, she wants to now win too much!
Guess who is the new coach of Ana Ivanovic… Thats right its Andy Murray’s girlfriends father! Andy Murray is with Kim Sears who happens to be the daughter of Nigel Sears. Nigel was the head of Women’s tennis at the LTA, but has now quit the day job to become Ana Ivanovic’s new coach.
“I couldn’t be happier,“ said Ana. “I’ve admired Nigel for some time now, and I can’t wait to start working with him on court.”
It was all glamour at the Pre-Wimbledon Party of 2011. The women stars of the game got dressed up and this year it was particuarly interesting with each of the players wearing an outfit that was designed by a British designer. Let’s take a look at some of the girls who headlined the show.
Jelena Jankovic wore a Vivienne Westwood dress
Ana Ivanovic wore a Matthew Williamson dress
Maria Sharapova wore an all Alexander McQueen ensemble.
Serena Williams wore a Burberry gown.
Betanie Mattek-Sands surprised everyone with a dress made by one of Lady Gaga’s designers
Caroline Wozniacki wore a Stella McCartney dress and who also designs her on-court dresses as well.
Other players who were at the party include Li Na (wore Giles Deacon); Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova (wore David Koma); Andrea Petkovic (wore Richard Nicoll); Heather Watson (wore Mulberry); and Laura Robson (wore Temperley). Nicholas Kirkwood provided shoes for the occasion.
Mens Singles:
Day 3 was an amazing day. Day 3 saw Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray in action amoung other great players.
Nadal came up against John Isner, who has an amazingly big serve. It was expected that Nadal would dominate the match and just simply be too strong on the clay. However, Isner was playing his A-game and Nadal was quick lucky to win in five very tough sets. 6-4 6-7 6-7 6-2 6-4.
In the rest of the matches most of the seeds got through without any trouble at all. However, Nicolas Almagro (11) was not so lucky as he fell to Lukasz Kubot in five sets. 3-6 2-6 7-6 7-6 6-4.
For me the pick of the matches was between two of the older guys on tour, Dmitry Tursunov and Xavier Malisse. These guys were roughing it on court 17 and they gave the crowd something to talk about. The match lasted three hours and saw Xavier Malisse progress 6-1 in the fifth set.
Womens Singles:
In day 3 on the womens side everything seemed to go very well for all the seed. The only seed that didnt make it through was Ana Ivanovic (whats news). Ana seemed to be playing strong tennis as she lost the first set 7-6 and then won the second set 6-0. However, as Ana isnt really predictable, she then went on to lose the third set 6-2.
For me the match of the day was Patty Schnyder and Sorana Cirstea. This was expected to be a very close match between two good players who both were not seeded. However, it seemed like Patty didnt really turn up for the match and Cirstea steam rolled her 6-1 6-3.
Overall:
Rafael Nadal has a tough match and progressed, this could set him up nicely for a good campaign here! In the other matches Andy Murray played very well, but he tends to run out of steam in the second week of Grand Slams. Outsiders are Robin Soderling and Gilles Simon, both played very well today.
Kim Clijsters has to be the favourite for this title and she didn’t disappoint today. Surprisingly Maria Sharapova is playing some great tennis at the moment and I could see he going quite deep in this tournament.
Ana Ivanovic recently visited Tokyo and she had the time to do a little press with the WTA and run a kids coaching clinic (sponsored by Yonex) during the Toray Pan Pacific Open. Im liking the start of the video where Ana was filmed walking across the Shibuya Crossing in Tokyo (its like a game of Where’s Wally).
Ana Ivanovic has announced what she will be wearing at Wimbledon 2010. Ana will be wearing of course a white Dress ($55 approx) with white leggings is it gets cold, which is always seems to a Wimbledon.
“Considering the strict rules they have regarding all-white at Wimbledon, it’s difficult to create a new look each year, but adidas have again done a great job of designing something that is both comfortable and stylish,” said Ana. “I think it’s a very feminine look and I’m going to enjoy wearing it in London.”
Jelena Jankovic’s mother has not been a happy bunny over the past week or so. Snezana Jankovic has been tearing into Ana Ivanoic and the Serbian Tennis Federation after their lost to Slovakia on the weekend.
Snezana was not please when she saw images of Ivanovic relaxing in Majorca with boyfriend Adam Scott in of getting off her ass and playing for her country!
Jelena missed only one match for Serbia in the last 10 years. This time she flew 48 hours across half the world to play here, despite a serious wrist injury. At the same time, somebody else had coffee somewhere while my child played hurting for her country.
Snezana also blamed the Serbian Tennis Federation for the low attendance over the weekend:
I think the organization failed this time and marketing flopped.
Why were our political elite and tennis officials absent. Those in charge should think: Does anybody care about women’s tennis? Do we need a Fed Cup team at all?
I think Snezana has a real point here, not really about the Serbian Tennis Federation but about Ana Ivanovic. Ana couldnt be bothered to make the trip to play for her country when she would rather just sit on her ass and do nothing. I think this really shows her commitment to her country!
Snezana also blamed the Serbian Tennis Federation for the low attendance over the weekend and questioned the whereabouts of the country’s top political figures saying,
I think the organization failed this time and marketing flopped.

Double S-H-M-A-C-K!Listen Snezana, I know you’re peeved at NaturAna for not sucking it up and taking one for the team but, honestly, she probably didn’t want to embarrass herself again in front of her homies like she did against Russia. Based on the current state of her game and mental fortitude, or lack thereof, she wouldn’t have helped much anyway. At least with BoJo you got one point which is more than you were probably going to get with NaturAna. And that’s the sad, sad truth.
As for the Serbian Tennis Federation and the MIA politicos, they suck for not pushing hard and supporting these lady ballers. Period.
So be as pissed as you wanna be, Snezana, and let ‘em have it. I’m all for that.
We can now confirm that Ana Ivanovic is dating Australian golfing sensation Adam Scott. The pair met at the start of the year in Australia and have been spending more and more time together ever since.
Scott recently pulled out of the Tiger Woods AT&T National to head over to Wimbledon and watch Ana play.
The relationship is still yet to come out officially in the public domain, but in this case it has been confirmed by several close sources.
Every year at Wimbledon there is a pre tournament players party and this year is no different. We came across a great picture of Ana Ivanovic with Virgin boss Richard Branson. Im wondering if Branson actually knows who she is or just another tactical publicity stunt.
