Ana Ivanovic triumphs in Birmingham!

Ana Ivanovic wins her first title on grass!

The Serbian beauty played a great tournament not to concede more than 5 games in any game. The final wasn’t any different. Ana recovered from a false start (she was broken in the very first game) to win with a comfortable 6-3 6-2 in just 1 hour and 19 minutes.

Some Numbers

Ivanovic was in another league to score 65 points vs. Barbora’s 45. Ana conceded just 3 break points (saved 2), while Zahlavova Strycova had to face 11 breakpoints (saved 7).

This is Ivanovic’s 14 career title, the 3rd of the year, the 1st on grass.

After this week Ana’s ranking will go from no.13 to no.11 and she will be ranked 6th in the Road to Singapore.

Ivanovic: The crowd really helped me

Ana was jubilant to say “Barbora had an amazing week too – best of luck at ‘s-Hertogenbosch and Wimbledon. The crowd really has been amazing. I enjoyed my time here and I look forward to next year.”
