Injury problems have contributed to a loss of form and a slide down the rankings for pin-up girl Ana Ivanovic. It is hard to believe that a player who possesses so much natural power and is comfortable on all surfaces only has one Grand Slam - the French Open in 2008 - to her name. She has also been a beaten finalist at Paris and the Australian Open, but since that one and only triumph three years ago there have been lean times for the Serbian who came to prominence when she reached the final Junior Wimbledon in 2004. She suffered badly from nerves in the early part of her career but it is fair to say she has not made the impact many expected. This season has been another struggle, with several withdrawals due to niggling injuries, and her best in a Grand Slam was reaching the third round at Wimbledon. She went out of the Cincinnati Masters in the second round to Nadia Petrova so has little form to take to Flushing Meadows, but if her game clicks and her fitness is good then she has the game to be a threat.
