Ivanovic toughens up for French Open

May 23, 2008

To get ready for the change in style on clay, that has meant a lot of work with her fitness instructor.

"You have to be very strong in your core and your adductor muscles and that's something my fitness coach is taking care of. We're working hard," she said.

    Ivanovic was speaking before she had played her first match of the season on clay.

    She went on to lose in the semi-finals in Berlin to Elena Dementieva and then lost her first match in Rome 6-4, 5-7, 6-2 to the Bulgarian qualifier Tsvetana Pironkova.

    If she can recapture her form from last year's French Open she will be a worthy favourite but if she is to get her hands on the trophy, she will have to get her head straight as well.
