"Being a mother has its beauties, but it also has its challenges" - Ana Ivanovic on meeting the demands of caring for kids
During an interview with Olympics.com in 2022, Ana Ivanovic discussed the complexities of motherhood, acknowledging both the joys and the challenges it brings.
"Being a mother has, of course, its beauties, but it also has its challenges," Ana Ivanovic said. "For four years I didn’t really sleep. There are so many moments when you are just really exhausted and you are talking the edge of survival, and you’re like, how do I do it? How can a little human make three, or two, or four adults super tired?"
"But then you really pull from that, what you had in the past, and how you pulled through tough moments and long matches and exhaustion and so on," she added.
Ivanovic stated that while the stress of motherhood is different from the stress of playing tennis, the joy that a single smile from her child brings is incomparable.
"Of course, you don’t have the same stress like you had when you played. It’s very much like one smile and your world melts. It’s definitely beautiful, but it has its challenges, of course," she added.
