I finally saw former French Open champion Ana Ivanovic play two nights ago in the third round of the Rome Open - and I was impressed with what I saw! Her service was working and her groundstrokes were deadly once again. I guess her work with her new coach is finally bringing results. However, she really tried her best to play toe-to-toe with Maria Sharapova but Maria was just too aggressive and she was really fit. Ana kinda faded by the third set so she really has to improve her fitness just in case she runs into players with full tanks - like Maria.
