She looks cute.

Yes, cute girl.

holy crap, how long has this thread been here? ana ivanovic is great, one of the young rising stars of womens tennis, i dont think shes even 18 yet, anyhow, she has a good game that seems to get better with every tournament she plays, when shes out playing on the tennis court she doesnt really look that great, but when she dresses up for photo shoots, she looks like a total fox!!!!!!

just if anyones cares, shes in the second round of wimbledon now, and she should beat her next opponent to advance to the 3rd round

her official web site is www.anaivanovic.com

cute

ana practicing during the french open:

She's gorgeous, in my opinion.

Does need a little cardio to lose the baby fat though

I hope she doesn't implode, tennistically, like Anna Kournikova. I saw her beat Mauresmo (who, in all fairness, was somewhat sluggish that day) at the French Open, and I couldn't take my eyes off her gorgeous face. If I've ever seen anything exemplify "Beauty and the Beast", that match certainly did

na, she wont implode like kournikova, this girls got alot of talent, and anna didnt really implode, it was more like she was never really all that good

here she is at wimbledon

good news on ana, she is now ranked in the top 20 for the first time in her career, i believe the started the year ranked 97. and she had the fastest serve at wimbledon on the womens side at 124mph

new pic:

ana should have had a much better result at the us open, but of course she had to injure her stupid shoulder, anyhow i hope she can get better soon, she will play alot more once us open is over

Some new pic.

damn she looks good, also looks like shes lost some weight, which is good

any updates?

shes so hott! haha
