"The truth is good." Is this the secret Ana Ivanovic is hiding from us? Those four words might come to your mind when you the see the look on her face when she speaks. I talked to Ana yesterday, mostly about her hopes for turning her year around, and wrote a piece for TENNIS.com on her today. Below is the opening graph. Click here to read the rest and feel free to add your thoughts below. Back later with some Azarenka analysis, I hope.
How will Ana Ivanovic spend the day before her match? She might lie in bed and listen to a smoothie like David Gray or John Mayer. Or she might read some of the Dalai Lama's advice on the art of happiness. Then she'll head to the courts and try to win some money off her coach by hitting five slice backhand drop shots in a row. Finally, she'll finish by sealing up a few Tupperware cases so she has something to eat after her match tonight. The life of a tennis star and all-around world celebrity can be pretty low-key around these parts.
