FROM THE EAST WEST BANK CLASSIC IN LA – One
day at a 12-and-under tournament in Serbia, Ana Ivanovic and Novak Djokovic
went out to warm-up prior to one of Ivanovic's matches. The two had known
each other since they were four, as Ivanovic's father and Djokovic's uncle
went to school with each other.
"I had quite an easy opponent and I warmed
up with Novak and I gave 100 percent and I couldn't move in the match
and I lost," said Ivanovic. "I wanted to beat him but he's
a boy and stronger and I was running crazy and it was unbelievable hit,
but afterward I was gone."
