Looks Ain't Everything

Postby Cro Morgan » Mon, 15 Mar 2010 19:57

Ana Ivanovic lost 6-2, 6-4 to Anastasija Sevastova in her opening match at Indian Wells.

Ivanovic, who reached the final last year, will fall out of the top 50 on Monday and could face the prospect of having to play qualifying at some events during the claycourt season.



Fast fall, that.

She will prob be offered lots of wildcards but she would do better to try and play some qualifiers or smaller events.

Like many players Ivanovic lost her game just after winning her first Grand Slam and becoming no.1. Out of all these younger players Sharapova is the only one with enough mental strength not to let the pressure of being the best get to her.

she hasn´t dealt well with success
Never underestimate the pain of a person, because in all honesty, everyone is struggling. Some people are just better at hiding it than others.

speaking of fast falls, whatever happened to Vaidisova? (and don't say Stepanek happened to her :lol:)
I mean I hardly ever follow womens tennis, but she looked a top player at one stage.

Is that true? Is she even 21 yet? Looks like she lost her motivation completely.

Stepanek's an inspiration.

I mean if that guy can get Vaidisova, I can fly to the moon on a tricycle. I can do anything.
