Jelena JankovicWorld No.4 Jelena Jankovic admitted a month and a half ago that her disappointing tennis results had a lot to do with her worrying about her mother Snezana’s health. Now, the situation is much better and Jankovic is ready to take on the challenge of winning the third Rome title in a row.

Things are going much better. My mother was not feeling well, and it was very hard for me to compete for the last few months because I’m very emotional and very sensitive person. The most important thing is the health, of myself and the closest ones in my family. In bad moments I don’t really think about tennis, I don’t think about the game. I just hope and pray everything will be okay with my mother and she will be healthy.

Jankovic is content with her claycourt performance so far this year:

I won the tournament in Marbella, and then I won nine matches in a row and then lost just two days ago against Pennetta in a tough match. I’m doing much, much better and I’m improving each day and playing better tennis, and that is something that I’m really happy about.

I’m really happy to hear that things are moving in the favorable direction. Many of us were waiting for the news about Snezana’s health. (source: Earth Times, photo: Ralf Reinecke)
