Ana Ivanovic had a remarkable career that spanned over a decade. She joined the WTA tour in 2004 and claimed her first tour-level trophy the next year at Canberra International.

The Serb's breakthrough year was in 2008 when she made it to the finals of the Australian Open. She won her first Grand Slam at Roland Garros by defeating Dinara Safina in straight sets, 6-4, 6-3. The triumph also propelled her to the World No. 1 ranking for the first time in her career.

In the following years, Ivanovic faced challenges with her consistency, changing coaches, and back injuries. However, she did not give up and bounced back in 2012, reaching the finals of the Fed Cup and the quarterfinals of the US Open. She finished the year in the top 20.

The Serb has frequently teamed up with compatriot Novak Djokovic and the pair reached the finals of the Hopman Cup in 2013. Her performances remained solid as she ended 2014 within the top five and reached the semifinals at the French Open in 2015.

Ana Ivanovic retired from tennis in December 2016 after winning 15 WTA titles and made it to the WTA Finals three times (2007, 2008, and 2014). She is also involved in various charitable causes, such as UNICEF. The former World No. 1 collected over $15.5 million in career prize money, ranking her 25th on the all-time list.
