Serbian tennis star and the world`s number one, Jelena Jankovic, attended on tuesday the promotion of a documentary film „Jelena’s world”, which shows Jelena in the real light on her trainings and matches. “Jelena’s world” is the movie of a high artistic potential that introduces the world of professional tennis to the greater public, a life of a young warrior and the champion.
The movie was produced in cooperation of Talas Film and Filkraftwerk from Berlin, with the support of Knjaz Milos Company which brand "aqua viva hydroactive" Jelena promotes. The labour on the movie started exactly one year before, when Jelena was the third ranked world’s player. The author of the film is Tanja Brzakovic.
That was a nice opportunity for us to ask Jelena a few questions about her carieer and something beside of it. The winner of this year’s four tournaments, namely Rome, Peking, Stuttgart and Moscow, underlined that she does not think it would be difficult staying on top through the next season.
It is a great challenge for me. I`m a perfectionist with a huge self reqest. When I notice something’s gone bad in my play, I try to fix it and turn it into my advantage, Jankovic emphasized on the beggining of our conversation.
Have you got any specific ritual you practice before matches?
Well, actually I do. Before every match I tie my hair in tail, put some gel and fasten it with hair rubber. Than I procede to warm up usually listening the music that fits me the best in the moment.
What kind of music is that?
It’s got to be some rythm that gives me strength, somethin lively. Madona or Justin Timberlake are quiet often on my playlist, because in some songs I can feel the rythm that keeps me on preassure and makes me ready for greater efforts.
How do you relax after matches and how do you take care of your body?
Of course, there is nothing that can compare to massage, when muscles are tense and body exhausted. I enjoy listening some easy rhymes while relaxing on a massage table. Some jazz or ambiental music. I like it even before I go to bed.
Books? What do you read when you have time?
I like reading, because with my strong imagination I visit different worlds, and for a bit forget professional obligations. Unfortunatelly, the only time I have for reading is in jets while flying from tournament to tournament, or before sleep. I can’t say I prefer anything, usually reading literature recommended by my friends, said Jelena.
What’s next? The end of the season, you are on top?
I’m leaving Belgrade in two days because of some of my duties. Afterwards I will go to deserved holiday. I need to “cool off” and refill batteries for the next season. I will not tell you where I will be, but I’m quiet positive that some papparazzi would find their way and reveal my position. Vacation will last for about two weeks, after what I will resume training, and prepare myself for the beggining of the new challenge, Australia, to be precise. - said Jelena Jankovic for www.srbijasport.com
