Question.
Do you see that as a learning experience?
ANA
IVANOVIC: Yeah, definitely. It's going to be great
experience for me. This is my first appearance in a
centre court, so pretty happy. Yeah, it was great
experience for me.
Q.
You were obviously a bit nervous at the start and also
at the end.
ANA
IVANOVIC: Yeah, I was a little bit nervous at the start.
Yeah, I think in the second set also I was a little bit
disappointed with my service game in the end. But, yeah,
that's experience. Next time I hope I won't make the
same mistakes.
Q.
What sort of goals do you have for the rest of 2005?
ANA
IVANOVIC: Well, now in next few months, I would like to
get under 50, so like Top 50. That's the first goal for
me.
Q.
What about more long-term? Top 10?
ANA
IVANOVIC: Yeah, the Top 10. That's my goal.
Q.
Can you talk a little bit about the support from the
Serbian crowd?
ANA
IVANOVIC: Yeah, it was nice. They support me for my
first match here. It's very nice. I enjoy that. It's
always nice to have someone from your country who is
supporting you, so I'm happy.
Q.
What kind of things were they shouting?
ANA
IVANOVIC: Well, most of the time it didn't have anything
to do with the game. But they just said sometimes,
"Come on, Ana," stuff like this. So that was
nice.
Q.
What were the things that didn't have anything to do
with the game?
ANA
IVANOVIC: Just some songs about country or stuff like
this.
Q.
What did you find difficult in Amelie's game?
ANA
IVANOVIC: Well, she was mixing quite a lot. So I didn't
get used to it before. I didn't have a chance to play
against these players before. Obviously, she's great
player. I didn't have rhythm in the beginning also. She
didn't really give me chance to get in my game. So I
think that what was result today.
Q.
What do you believe are your major strengths? Your power?
Your consistency? Mental?
ANA
IVANOVIC: I think my serve is quite well. And, yeah,
mental part, also try to be tough. Yeah, I think I have
also good groundstrokes. But also quite a lot of things
to improve and to work on.
Q.
Such as?
ANA
IVANOVIC: Yeah, like everything little bit. I think all
the things that I have to improve a little bit. Really
looking forward.
