Ana Ivanovic Wins Her First Centre Court Match in Wimbledon 2007

The Serbian tennis star Ana Ivanovic has recently won her first centre court match and through this win she has reached to the semi-final of the Women’s Single of Wimbledon 2007. In the classic match Ana Ivanovic won the match against Nicole Vaidisova, by 4-6, 6-2, 7-5. Saving three match points and taking the advantages of double faults of Nicole Vaidisova, Ana Ivanovic could win her first centre court match.

News24.Com reported:
Out-muscled by her big-serving opponent in the opening set, she managed to maintain her focus to hold out to take the match into a third and then survive the three match points that Vaidisova earned on Ivanovic's serve at 5-3.
"She was playing unbelievable but I played very well at the end of the match," Ivanovic said. "I'm really excited now. It was my first match on Centre Court and to win like this is amazing."
Vaidisova, the 14th seed, had claimed an early edge when she broke Ivanovic in the opening game of the match, which allowed her to claim the first set.

The Serbian rising star is now taking preparation to face three times Wimbledon winner Venus Williams in the semi-final. Venus is also in her prime form as she could defeat two tournament favorites Maria Sharapova and Svetlana Kuznetsova in the fourth round and quarter final respectively. However, Venus has to give her fullest to restrict this Serbian young star.
