In a candid interview, Ana said that there is still too much (personal) competitiveness among women in tennis especially if compared with males.
“The things with men’s tennis is that it’s set up a bit differently and I feel it’s more relaxed. They just don’t seem to stress about the small things,”
“That was really refreshing … getting to play alongside Novak and seeing how differently he functions. It was interesting to watch how much fun he had and how much he enjoyed his tennis. You could just tell he was going to have a great year. That’s why we all play the game, but sometimes with the pressure and stress that gets forgotten.” she added.
‘The key is trying to find a balance and men seem to do that better. I think the guys do hang out more – they spend more time together than the girls do.”
“It might be hard for us to support each other because the tour can be very competitive. Maybe it’s getting a bit better than when I started. The girls are a bit more relaxed, but it’s still not the same as the men’s side of things.”
Good Wisdom!
