 THE
TR NEWSLETTER: WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 22, NO. 240The world according to Jelena Jankovic'I'm like a polar bear because I'm a special species. I don't look like anyone else.Out of a million people, they can pick me out. I have that special something' By Matthew Cronin, TennisReporters.net Jelena Jankovic of Serbia has had a meteoric rise during the past 16 months, nearly retiring in the spring of '05 and falling to No. 38, but rediscovering her love of the sport and rising to No. 3 in August behind five titles and series of wins over elite players. But while emotive and talkative Serbian is always a pleasure to watch, she has yet to break through to a Grand Slam final, reaching the semis of the '06 US Open and '07 Roland Garros. As a personality, she's already broken through. As a champion, the big trophies still wait. She recently spoke with Matthew Cronin. A portion of this aslo appears in the September issue of Inside Tennis magazine. ON WHETHER THE RISE OF SERBIA STORY HAS BEEN EXHAUSTED: It's the same story over and over and over again. Everyone knows the story and enough is enough. You don't want to rotate the sentence over and over again. It's like a broken tape. © TennisReporters.net 2007
