“Coaches were all saying that I was really talented and I had potential...” — Ana Ivanovic Quote

“Coaches were all saying that I was really talented and I had potential, but coming from Serbia, it wasn't easy. The '90s were the hardest years for our country - we went through two wars.”

“Tennis has opened a number of possibilities for me, and in future, it would be great to give something back.”

“Our job is quite strange in that we hire a coach, and therefore, we're the boss. But coaches tell us what to do, and I think some coaches might struggle with the idea of a girl being the boss and telling them, 'I don't want to see you now. I want to have some time to myself.'”

“My coaches were great. My mom and dad. My dad never missed a wrestling meet.”

“When you hear coaches say your son is good, sometimes you think they are just saying it because it's you.”

“As coaches, we learn to accept criticism for our decisions. If a writer says you shouldn't have gone for it on fourth-and-one, we understand that's part of the job. We expect it.”
