Ana wins her first Grand Slam!


Yeah, she did it...!!! Yuhuii...it's a very best news from my tennis idol. Ana Ivanovic won her first Grand Slam title after taking down Dinara Safina in straight sets, 6-4, 6-3, in the Women French Open final 2008. Ivanovic has reached the semifinals at four of the past five Grand Slam tournaments. She struggled against Patty Schnyder only when trying to close out the victory. With light rain beginning to fall, she hit her second and third double-faults of the match in the final game before smacking a service winner on the third match point.
Not only the champion of French Open, now she also number 1..!!! The Sony Ericsson WTA Tour will crown a new world No.1 on Monday, June 9, when the latest rankings are published, following Ana Ivanovic's nail-biting win over compatriot Jelena Jankovic in the semifinals of Roland Garros on Thursday. Ivanovic replaces Maria Sharapova at the top of rankings after a three-week reign by the Russian and becomes the first player representing Serbia to hold the No.1 ranking, adding yet another milestone to her already long list of remarkable accomplishments.
"Being No.1 is a dream come true for me," Ivanovic said. "It was a big surprise because I was so focused on the tournament. This is a great achievement and something that I'm very proud of. It hasn't exactly hit me yet because it won't be official until Monday. I'm sure we'll have a big celebration then."
I'm so happy for her.. and proud being her fans!
