Former top-ranked player Ana Ivanovic plans to continue her tennis journey at this point without a coach. According to reports, the Serbian star separated from coach Antonio Van Grichen last week and will be taking part at this week’s Dubai Tennis Championships with only a sparring partner and fitness trainer.
“It’s nice when you have sort of a little bit of a plan and tactics when you go on the court, but also I feel that if I play well it doesn’t matter against who I play, I’m going to win. And that’s why I’m not so stressed about tactics,” Ivanovic said at the pre-tournament interview.
Ivanovic will face swiss veteran Patty Schnyder in the opening round of the Dbai Tennis Champions 2011.
