The 2008 season has already started for Ana Ivanovic who resumed training on Monday. The Serb is working hard in London, at the state-of-the art National Tennis Center in Roehampton. Ana is amazed with the facilities describing them as “the best in the world”.

“In designing this center, it seems like they thought of everything. There is even this special pod, which is like a machine, that you can sit in to relax after training, and it speeds up the recovery time. But what I like most is the special coffee/smoothie bar,” said the world No.4.

And not only is Ivanovic practicing in modern tennis center, she is also renting a wonderful apartment in London where all the walls are at the same time the doors! Wow! I would love to see that. (source: Ana Ivanovic's official website)
