- Petrova
Last year around this time, both Jelena Jankovic and Ana Ivanovic were on a high after reaching the finals at Roland Garros. They were both in the form of their lives and inching in on the number 1 position in the world( they both reached later on)
This year is so much different though. After early exits at Roland Garros, the both lost in the first round at the grass tournament in Eastbourne this week. Jankovic against slumping Chakvetadze with 7-6 3-6 2-6. Her problem has been gaining too much muscle in the after season and thus losing lots of speed and movement.
Ivanovic lost to Petrova 1-6 6-4 4-6 after a 4-1 lead in the third against mega-choker Petrova. Her problems seems to be just mental. She seems to have a very low confidence and fold to her opponents in tight situations.
I like both girls and hope they will be back to playing at their potential soon, it might be a while though.
