We informed you last week that Ana Ivanovic had bought a luxurious villa in Mallorca, and the latest diary entry at her website confirms the news. However, the tennis star won’t move to Spain.

I bought a holiday home in Mallorca. It’s a very quiet and peaceful area, so it’s a perfect place to train and relax. I have always liked Mallorca: I used to come here to train when I was 15.
