Ana Ivanovic talked about her husband Bastian Schweinsteiger's competitive spirit in an interview with Olympics.com in 2022. She mentioned that the German midfielder worked hard to earn points against her in tennis. Ivanovic said:

“He’s very competitive and he’s still trying super hard".

The Serb said that sometimes she makes him work hard for points and other times she lets him win a game or two. She added:

“We play every game that he gets 30-love and he can maybe manage to get a game or two but I sometimes make him work hard for points and sometimes let him win a game when he deserves it".

The 2008 French Open champion also talked about refraining from sharing the nature of their profession with their children. She said that the couple wanted their children to chart their path and discover who they are. She said:

“We really don’t talk to them about it at all and we want to keep it like that for as long as we can really. We just want them to have their own choices and their own passions. That’s why we keep them quite private; we want them to discover who they are".
