AUSTRALIAN OPEN


January 17, 2006


Ana Ivanovic


MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA

THE MODERATOR: Questions, please.

Q. What do you think of your performance in that match?

ANA IVANOVIC: Well, it was actually pretty hard to play. The first match is always very, very hard. Usually you start a little bit nervous. And she's a great player. She didn't give me much rhythm. Like through all the match, I was trying to find my rhythm, but didn't work really well. But on the end, I'm really pleased I took the opportunities and won the match.

Q. Tell us about your connection with Melbourne.

ANA IVANOVIC: Well, I have relatives here. So I was actually here in December practicing, here in Melbourne Park. And they really nice. They help me out a lot. I have lot of sparring partners. Yeah, they help me out a lot. I was really happy with the opportunity to come and practice here rather than stay in Europe.

Q. How close are they? Aunts?

ANA IVANOVIC: Uncle and auntie, yeah.

Q. Where?

ANA IVANOVIC: They live in Mentone.

Q. Who did you hit with?

ANA IVANOVIC: I was practicing with Nicole and Casey and also some other girls. And I have (indiscernible), as well.

Q. They were here for the camp. Did you join in?

ANA IVANOVIC: It was very nice. The organization is very good. They certainly help me out a lot. I always had the court, the sparrings, the balls, everything. And the people around, they were just very nice. I really enjoy my time here.
