She won the 2008 French Open and was the runner-up in singles at the 2007 French Open and the 2008 Australian Open.

Ivanovic is an offensive baseliner who is notable for her aggressive play. Ivanovi?’s strength is her powerful forehand which has long been considered to be one of the best forehands in the game. Her backhand, although not as big of a weapon as her forehand, has improved over the years. Ivanovi?’s serve is a powerful weapon, but can sometimes be unreliable due to an occasional wayward ball toss.
