Ivanovic to become 17th woman, first Serb to be ranked No. 1

Associated Press

PARIS -- Ana Ivanovic is assured of becoming the 17th woman -- and first from Serbia -- to be ranked No. 1, regardless of how she fares in the French Open final.

She will move up from No. 2 when the WTA Tour's new rankings are issued Monday, replacing Maria Sharapova in the top spot.

Ivanovic and two other women, No. 3 Jelena Jankovic and No. 4 Svetlana Kuznetsova, all had a chance to take over at No. 1 after Sharapova lost in the fourth round at Roland Garros.

But Ivanovic beat Jankovic 6-4, 3-6, 6-4 in the semifinals Thursday, while Kuznetsova lost to Dinara Safina 6-3, 6-2.

The 20-year-old Ivanovic, who will play Safina in the final Saturday, said she wasn't aware she had clinched the No. 1 ranking by beating Jankovic until after the match.

"Coming into this tournament, I didn't expect that. I just came to play each match," Ivanovic said. "Obviously every tournament you play, you want to win, so that still hasn't changed. That's still my goal."

Also, she's pretty hot.

Actaully... the first Serbian to be ranked #1 was Monika Seles.

I agree with you there, but her parents were Hungarian and I think she clung to that more.

Actually, are you sure she was #1?

 

[Bobby Sands]

yea she is hot. i will be watching when she plays Sharapova even though i dont like tennis.

 

[Flipmo]

Yup, she became #1.

Ivanovic is cute, not drop dead. I've seen normal pictures of her. I reminisce of Jaws in James Bond.

Good Tennis player though

 

[Bobby Sands]

I think i have watched her play before actually.

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

I watched her today...like with most of the French Open. Good match today..I was pissed Sharapova threw it away against Safina.

Pff, i bet you never watched a single tennis match before, Sofi.

She played for Yugoslavia's Davis Cup team in the late 80's. When turned American, you never heard her say anything about Yugoslavia anymore. Good thing Seb's cousin stabbed her in the back I say. huhuhu

And of course she was #1...

Ivanovic is a good player. Safina totaly destroyed Kuznitsova today. 3 upsets in a row. I wonder if she'll make it 4...

I love her as a tennis player. She's as bad tempered as her brother.

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

Speaking of Serbs...Djokovic is on his way out against Nadal..

 

[Sebastian]

^
Nadal is a beast. I bet he wins against Federer on sunday.

Good thing Seb's cousin stabbed her in the back I say. huhuhu

Only in Germany.

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

He should do..its on clay.

 

[Sebastian]

Ivanovic won. Go Serbia.

Yea, I love how people from nowhere all of sudden pop out in the picture and start showing interest in something whenever their country mate makes the headlines or becomes big. No hating here, I would do the same if my country mate achieves something big.

She's a good player. I think she's playing in Montreal this summer at the Rogers Cup. (whatever that cup name is)

 

[stefanwzyga]

She's fine.

 

[MacB]

I think she is the best looking player just now, jsut something about her that does it for me!

Maybe it is her accent as well, She has some great pics on her own website.

Oh, you don't know.

S O F I dresses like Carlton from Fresh Prince of Bel Air. He was playing tennis before he was trained to use the toilet.
