In as much as she had to train in an abandoned swimming pool in the winter, without any available tennis facilities, at the age of 13 years old she moved to train in Basel, Switzerland, in search of better training facilities and coaching.

Therefore when she signed an agreement with the Swiss entrepreneur, she and her mother moved to Switzerland, where manager Dan Holzmann was living in Basel.

At the age of 15 years old, she spent four hours in a locker room crying after that she underwent the first defeat of her career observed by her manager Holzmann.

Dan Holzmann was on the brink of abandoning her, after seeing her crying in that way, believing that she wasn't good enough to be a professional tennis player.

Yet, he made up his mind to give her a second chance that was the right decision as Ana proved to become no. 1 in World while he remained her manager throughout her career.

With winning 15 WTA Tour singles titles, and one Grand Slam singles title, which was the French Open in 2008, Ana raked more than $15.5 million in prize money, being the 25th highest in the all-time rankings.

In June 2011, she was honoured to be included among "30 Legends of Women's

: Past, Present and Future" by Time and her name has been on the list of "Top 100 Greatest Players Ever" both male and female compiled by reporter Matthew Cronin.

But back to her early career, her professional debut occurred on August 17, 2003. Even if Ana reached the final of the Junior Wimbledon tournament, she conceded the game that was against Kateryna Bondarenko.

Yet she did not give up so as to be even more motivated to perform better, going 26–0 on the ITF Women's Circuit, as she could grab victory in all five events she participated in, two of them as a qualifier.

Her breakthrough took place at the 2004 Zurich Open, where although she was qualified, she was closely smashed by Venus Williams in the second round in two tie-break sets.

Be that as it may, at the age of 18 years old, Ivanovic had already toppled down great players as the likes of Svetlana Kuznetsova, Nadia Petrova, Vera Zvonareva and Amélie Mauresmo.

After that she won the 2008 French Open, she struggled in her profession and although she was overwhelmed by popularity, she underwent a constant stint of minor success, when she failed to make a Grand Slam quarterfinal in her following 17 Grand Slam tournaments and dropped as low as No. 65 in the rankings as of July 2010.

As she qualified for the tournament in the WTA Tour Championship, she could secure a year-end ranking of No. 5, so as to announce her comeback to the world's elite.

Yet in 2016, she could grab victory only in 15 matches while her last professional match was in the first round of the US Open in front of Denisa Allertova, being defeated by her with straight sets.

Therefore it was no wonder to see her revealing the decision to become retired in December 2016, due to not being capable to perform to a high standard as a major factor anymore, especially after her absence from a sustained injury.
