The reason Ana was forced to retire from the third grand slam of the year a micro-tear in her left thigh muscle. This is a very painful injury as could be seen when Ana was crying. The injury is not too serious though and a two-week rest should ensure full recovery.

Meanwhile, I updated the gallery with no less than 262 new pictures of Ana. The new albums are:

2009 - Offcourt

2009 - Oncourt

Enjoy the new photos and stay tuned for new additions in the weeks to come, as I'm busy preparing new updates with many hundreds of new and old pictures.

Ana Ivanovic retired through injury during her fourth round match against Venus Williams. At first sight it seems as if it is a thigh or groing injury of the left leg. Ana was all in tears when she left the court. The injury happened just at the moment when Ana started playing better after she lost the first set with a very hard 6-1. More info will come later.

Ana moves on to the fourth round of the third grand slam of the year, Wimbledon. A match which everyone expected to become a close encounter against French Open semi-finalist Samantha Stosur actually was a good training session for Ana Ivanovic.

Ana immediately took a 2-0 lead in the first set after winning the opening game on Stosur's service. Stosur came back to 4-4 and took a 5-4 lead, giving Ana the sign to up her level and win three games in a row.

The second set started exactly like the first one, with a service break in Ana's favour in the first game. This time Ana took a 4-0 lead, which never got threathened anymore. Both girls won their own service games and so Ana won this second set without any troubles with 6-2.

In the fourth round of the tournament Ana will meet either Venus Williams or Carla Suarez Navarro.

Ana won her second round matcha against Sara Errani from Italy. The first set was a very close one, with both players going through each other's service multiple times. Luckily it was Ana who was able to break three times and Errani could do so only twice. Ana won the first set with 7-5 after 49 minutes, after she went through Errani's service for the third time.

As there was plenty of stress in the first set, the second could only be better for Ana thanks to her first set win. This proved to be correct as Ana immediately won her own service game and won the next game on Errani's service. Errani made the rebreak however and many will have been thinking that Ana would collapse again as sh's been doing regularly in the last year. However to many's surprise, Ana started playing even better and won four games in a row to win the second set with 6-1 in barely 28 minutes.

Ana will meet Samantha Stosur from Australia in the third round, who stunned everyone with a semi-final at Roland Garros, the French Open.

Ana will not only play singles matches in her upcoming tournament. She will also play doubles matches together with German partner Sabine Lisicki. Let us hope these doubles matches will give her some extra rhythm and confidence for the remainder of this season.

Ana and her new coach Craig Kardon have already seperated after only a few months of working together. An official reason has not been given however rumours are that Ana and Craig did not have a very good personal understanding.

Regarding site updates, the on- and offcourt gallery for Roland Garros has been finished. Ana's last interview at the French Open has also been added to our interview database.
