JELENA JANKOVIC: Yeah, tennis has become very popular in Serbia. Nowadays it’s one of the most popular sports there. We were always successful in team sports. We didn’t have much success in individual sport. But now that has changed. We are very successful in tennis, which is very different because we didn’t have a tradition in tennis before. A lot of young kids are starting to play. It’s a great thing. So hopefully we’ll have many more to come. But it’s been difficult because we don’t have good facilities to practice and to prepare there. But they’re working to build a tennis center which will help the younger generation and also us to train there without having to go somewhere else to train. Q. Where would that tennis facility be? JELENA JANKOVIC: In the city, in Belgrade. Q. Are you close with Ana? JELENA JANKOVIC: I’m not very close to her. I don’t really know her that well. I know more or less the boys, especially Tipsarevic. When we were young, we played juniors at the same time.
