Ana Ivanovic in Australian Open Tennis 2008

If you say that the year 2007 was the year of Ana Ivanovic, you are not wrong at all. It is true that she could not win any of the four grand slam tournaments last year. However, she was pretty much consistent last year in most of the tournaments. Ivanovic also won 3 WTA titles in her career. She started the year with out of top ten in the ranking, but she finished the year at the fourth. So, she has been seeded fourth for the upcoming Australian Open 2008.

Ana Ivanovic may reach the fourth round without facing any big challenge in Australian Open 2008. Most probably she would face Dinara Safina in the fourth round. Her probable opponent in the quarter final could be Marion Bartoli or Venus Williams. Svetlana Kuznetsova or Daniela Hantuchova or Anna Chakvetadze could be her most likely semi final opponent. So, from the fourth round, she will have to play some tough matches against some of the best players or the present day.

Having seen a break though year, Ivanovic will definitely be happy to win a grand slam title this year. Last year, she reached the final of French Open and semi final of Wimbledon. She is now 20 and has a long career ahead of her. So, I would not be surprised if she can win her first grand slam title in Australian Open 2008.
