To begin with, Ana began playing tennis being five old following her idol Monica Seles. She begged her parents to enroll her in a local tennis school, but her parents only bought a racquet for her birthday.
Concerning her professional career, she made her debut in 2003, participating in the ITF WTA tournament in Luxembourg in which she lost in the qualifiers. Her first professional success was in Zurich when she won against American Venus Williams in the second round, after beginning the year as the 705th player in the world. At the beginning of 2005, she won her first WTA tournament, in Canberra Australia, a tournament in which she came through qualifying. It was interesting that in the finals she played against the same player that she had beaten in the same qualifying tournament. The same year, she made a real surprise becoming the second highest ranked tennis player to make her debut at the USA Open. The year 2006 she began playing in the Hopman Cup, but it is interesting that she played 15 tournaments in 2006 and 14 of them she won, nine playing against experienced Russian players.
After finishing the 2007 season, Ivanovic was ranked in 4th place with 3461 points, behind her compatriot Jelena Jankovic. In 2008 was her career peak; in January, Ana Ivanovic advanced to her second final of a Grand Slam tournament in Australia, where she lost to Maria Sharapova.

The year of 2009 did not start promisingly – she did not win any tournament including the Australian Open, and such disastrous results dropped her to seventh place on WTA list. In 2010, the player suffered an injury which complicated things even more, dropping to 58th place on the WTA rankings, but by 2011 Ivanovic ended being in the 21st position. During the seasons 2012 and 2013 Ana failed to win a single WTA title, but has had several significant results: the semifinals at Indian Wells (2012), the quarter-finals of the USA Open (2012), Moscow semi-finals (2012), finals of the Fed Cup (2012) and semi-finals in Madrid (2013). Consequently, 2013 she ended as the 16th player in the world. In 2014, she showed good results and finished the season being in the top 5. Unfortunately, things went wrong the following year and she found herself in the 16th ranked position. Regardless, her net worth has continued to rise.
