Ana Ivanovic and her Montreal Fiasco

20 Jul

Ana Ivanovic has seen the best of times...

and the worst of times.

With the events that have transpired throughtout this past weekend, many tennis fans are left with one question: should Ana Ivanovic, the former Roland Garros champion and former World No. 1, have received a wild card to compete in the Rogers Cup, a title she previously won?  While some side with tournament director, Eugene Lapierre, many others agree that she should have gotten a wild card out of pure respect for her prior achievements.

As a fan of Ivanovic, I think that it is a shame she wasn’t awarded a wild card, but don’t find it to be a tragedy, as it will give her the oppurtunity to play some easier matches that she will have a descent chance of winning, especially coming in after playing in three consecutive tournaments in Stanford, San Diego, and Cincinnati.  So say what you will, but this could actually be what Ana needs to reignite her game to the level it was once at.
