No iPod, but I feel my game's on song

Jelena Jankovic
January 25, 2009

AFTER coming into the tournament without any warm-up matches, I've started
finding some rhythm and confidence heading into the second week.

Fortunately, I've recovered after getting sick during a recent exhibition
match in Hong Kong, so I'm healthy and there's no problems going forward.

Nobody likes to play when something is bothering them and at the moment I'm
healthy, excited and enjoying my tennis, which is the most important thing.

My first match here against Yvonne Meusburger was my toughest so far,
especially after not playing for about two months. I didn't know much about
her going into the match, so it was exciting to get through.

In the next round, I didn't know much about Kirsten Flipkins either, but she
was really going after me and putting me under pressure. I stayed calm and
got through the match even though I didn't play very well. I wasn't satisfied
with my performance, but it's important to win when you're not playing at
your best.

My third-round match against Ai Sugiyama was a great match. I was prepared
for her to run a lot of balls down and knew she wasn't going to give me any
free points. All the points I won, I had to earn. The conditions were quite
warm and it was hard for both of us, but I managed to stay strong at crucial
times.

It was a great match and I played a lot better than my two previous rounds.

Almost a week into the tournament, I feel like I'm getting into the routine
of playing matches, getting that all-important rhythm and confidence from
winning and moving forward.

When you're not playing it's important to relax, conserve energy and look
after yourself. Unfortunately I left my iPod at home, so I'm not listening to
any music in my down time, but I'm always singing inside myself. Even hearing
a song on the TV can get me singing!

One of the biggest positives this year is having my parents at the
tournament. My mum usually travels with me to most tournaments, but my dad
doesn't come so often, so its always nice to have my family with me.

The night before a match I stay home and my mum prepares the food, which is
quite relaxing. I like to keep my days pretty low-key, nothing too exciting,
because I'm here to play and do my best.

It's important to be disciplined, take care of my body, eat well and take
care of all these little details because they make a huge difference when I'm
on the court.

My next opponent is Marion Bartoli, who I haven't played against for about
two years. The last time we played was at Wimbledon on grass and playing on
grass is completely different to playing on a hard court.

I'm really looking forward to the match. It will be another tough one, but
everyone playing here presents another challenge. I can't underestimate
anybody.

I would like to step up a little bit, keep improving with each match and lift
my level of tennis. Of course, the further you get into the tournament the
tougher your opponents are going to be, so I need to play better and, so far,
I'm on the right track.
