"It’s definitely beautiful, but it has its challenges" - Ana Ivanovic on the complexities of motherhood
In an interview with Olympic.com in 2022, Ana Ivanovic shared the challenges of motherhood. The 36-year-old expressed disbelief at how a small child could leave multiple adults feeling "super tired".
"Being a mother has, of course, its beauties, but it also has its challenges. 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?"
The former French Open champion further acknowledged that while motherhood has challenges and isn’t as stressful as playing, a child’s smile can make it all worthwhile.
"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.Of course, you don’t have the same stress like you had when you played. It’s very much like one smile and your world melts. It’s definitely beautiful, but it has its challenges, of course," she added.
Despite her busy work schedule, Ivanovic strives to prioritize her family.
