Serbian Ana Ivanovic has been pretty excited about the 2012 Olympic Games, which will be held in London. This time tennis matches will be played on the grass at Wimbledon. Former World No. 1 Ana Ivanovic is looking forward to relish the challenge.

Recently in a press interview, Ivanovic quoted, “I’m very very excited. It was one of the toughest points of my career when I had to pull out of the 2008 Olympics because of my injury. I really hope I can go far. Obviously it’s going to be a long season and on grass too. But I hope I can go far and hopefully bring a medal for my country.”

When asked about the jet lag, she added, “It depends. After French Open I haven’t practiced for 10 days. Now that I step on grass, it’s not that tough of a transition. We adjust our movement immediately. I think it’s going to be tough with the time difference and the surface change. We are all in the same position.”

She further added that “Everyone is so excited about Olympics that not many people are thinking about how big the gap is. There’s so much positive excitement so no one is really taking that gap seriously.”
