Ana Ivanovic is back to a Grand Slam semifinal after 7 years and that happened in her most favorite major: the French Open.
The 2008 champion reaches the semifinal after a fantastic match against Elina Svitolina. The Serbian Beauty did a great job to take advantage of a vicious wind while her opponent couldn’t find a solution. The match ended after 75 minutes with a smooth 6-3 6-2 score-line. Match Stats.
Ivanovic. It was tough conditions
Ana commented “Today was a very, very tough match, even though the score doesn’t indicate that. It was tough conditions, obviously for both of us. It was very, very gusty. I really tried to just execute my game plan and tried to move my feet more, because in windy conditions that’s what you have to do. I was very happy that I managed to do that so well and put pressure on her throughout the match.”
