TENNIS in DEPTH.

I’ll be here for the Davis Cup final, so I can cheer on Serbia against France. I’m also going to be playing an exhibition for charity on the 30th of November here, a really big show from 9pm to midnight, to raise money for juniors as well as relief for an earthquake that happened in the city of Kraljevo. It will be a lot of fun and I always love helping raise money for good causes.

Since the end of the season in Doha, I’ve been able to rest and recover and start recharging my batteries. I had a tough time towards the end of the season with some health problems, so I’ve been taking it easy, just resting a lot. I also had something removed in my left eye – I was having problems seeing clearly, especially in night matches, so I had surgery. There was a patch on it so I kind of looked like a pirate for a while! The whole time I had to wear sunglasses, so I actually looked cool. I even had to wear them in the dark. To protect it from the wind, the cold… anyway, they removed the stitches and now my eye is just a little red, so it’s almost done.

I spent a little bit of time In Italy and now I’ve been in Belgrade for a while with my family. I’ve been out of the public eye, spending some very important time with them. We travel so much that when these periods come, you just want to live a normal life. So I’ve been spending time with my family and boyfriend. There’s also a new member of the family – my brother got me a dog, a Maltese, named Stella She’s just a puppy, three months old. We’ve been teaching her tricks and playing with her. She’s very cute.
