Ana is the first seed to fall in Eastbourne.
The world no. 12 was eager to get some practice on grass, but that didn’t last much as Elena pulled out a great performance to upset her in 3 sets.
From Ana
A disappointed Ivanovic commented “I think on grass it’s very hard to get rhythm. You don’t get many long rallies and long points. But overall I was pleased with my serving today, and in the first set I did quite a few good things.” said Ana.
