As the tennis world turns its eyes to New York for the US Open, one former champion is stealing the spotlight from a sun-soaked getaway. Ana Ivanovic, who captured the French Open title in 2008, has been sharing glimpses of her summer adventures, and her latest post has fans doing a double take.
The 38-year-old Serbian, who retired from professional tennis in 2016, posted a series of photos on social media that show her enjoying some downtime in a striking blue swimsuit. The images quickly sparked a flurry of comments, with fans marveling at her timeless beauty and effortless style. “Queen of Capri,” one admirer wrote, while another added, “Still beautiful as always.”
Ivanovic’s vacation content has been a recurring theme this summer, but this particular post has generated significant buzz, especially with the US Open underway. The former world No. 1 hasn’t confirmed whether she’ll make an appearance at Flushing Meadows, but her fans are certainly hoping to see her in the stands.
During her career, Ivanovic was one of the most recognizable figures in women’s tennis, known for her powerful groundstrokes and graceful presence on court. She won 15 WTA singles titles, including her memorable run to the 2008 French Open title, where she defeated Dinara Safina in the final. She also reached two other Grand Slam finals and helped Serbia reach the Fed Cup final.
Reflecting on her achievements, Ivanovic once said, “I’ve seen the heights I’ve never dreamt of achieving. I won 15 WTA tour titles, [played in] three Grand Slam finals, Fed Cup finals, and I played so many memorable matches. I would say not so bad for a tiny slip of a girl from Serbia.”
Her retirement has been filled with family life and occasional public appearances, but she remains a beloved figure in the sport. Her recent swimsuit post is a reminder that even in retirement, she knows how to command attention.
Ivanovic isn’t the only tennis legend turning heads with vacation snapshots. Maria Sharapova's recent beach photo also had fans talking, showing that the sport's former stars still know how to make an impact.
For now, Ivanovic seems content to enjoy her summer away from the courts, but the tennis community is undoubtedly keeping an eye on her social media for more updates. Whether she shows up in New York or not, her latest post has already made her a winner in the eyes of her fans.
