Ana Ivanovic, (Serbian: Ана Ивановић, Serbian pronunciation: [ˈana iˈvaːnɔvitɕ] ; born 6 November 1987, in Belgrade, Serbia, then Yugoslavia) is a former World No.1 Serbian tennis player. She won the 2008 French Open and was the runner-up in singles at the 2007 French Open and the 2008 Australian Open.

Competing as a professional since 2003, Ivanovic has won 15 WTA Tour singles titles, and was ranked no. for 12 weeks in 2008.

After winning the 2008 French Open she endured an ongoing period of reduced success, failing to make a Grand Slam quarterfinal in her subsequent 17 Grand Slam tournaments, and dropping as low as No. 65 in the rankings during July 2010. 2014 was a resurgent year for Ivanovic, winning the Auckland Open, her first singles title in over two years, and following up with tournament titles at the Monterrey Open, Birmingham Classic and Pan Pacific Open. She qualified for competition in the 2014 WTA Tour Championships and secured a year-end ranking of No.5.
