“Being a mother has, of course, its beauties, but it also has its challenges" - Ana Ivanovic opens up on motherhood

Ana Ivanovic, a mother of three children, while speaking to the 'Olympics Channel Podcast', opened up about her post-retirement life and how she is embracing motherhood.

After retiring from tennis in 2016, Ivanovic spoke about how she manages her time now and how she spends her days. The Serbian said:

“It’s so hard to believe it’s already been five years since I retired. Most of my days are now kind of consumed by my two little boys that I have. I love spending time with them. It’s really special watching them grow up so quickly.”

At the time of the interview, she had not given birth to their third child.

She further described how hard it is to be a mother of children who are very young, and how challenging it can be at times. But, she credited her tennis career as coming in handy during these times as she knew how to manage stress from her playing days.

She was quoted as saying:

“Being a mother has, of course, its beauties, but it also has its challenge,". “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 concluded.
