Ivanovic continues Serbia’s ‘revolution’

NEWLY-CROWNED French Open champion Ana Ivanovic revealed that Novak Djokovic’s victory in this year’s Australian Open was one of the driving forces behind her maiden grand slam crown.

Ivanovic secured Serbia its second major title of the year on Saturday with a 6-4 6-3 win over Russia’s Dinara Safina in the final at Roland Garros, just five months on from Djokovic breaking his grand slam duck in Melbourne.

Ivanovic and Djokovic are at the forefront of a Serbian revolution in both the men’s and women’s professional games and the 20-year-old Ivanovic, twice a grand slam runner-up prior until Saturday, believes more is to come from a country thatalso boasts the talents of Jelena Jankovic, the women’s third seed at Roland Garros.
