Ana Ivanovic (SRB)

Ana Ivanovic was inspired by watching the great Monica Seles on television.

After picking up her first racquet as a five-year-old, she quickly developed her aggressive style of play and reached the final of Junior Wimbledon in 2004.

She won five straight ITF tournaments later that year and made her Grand Slam debut in US Open.

Since turning pro in 2003, Ana has won a string of WTA titles and reached the final of the 2007 French Open.

It was a similar tale in the Australian Open the following year before she celebrated her first Grand Slam success by winning the 2008 French Open final.
