Cela priča na relaciji Ana Ivanović - menadžment Rodžers kupa dobija epilog. Mislim da će se još par dana pisati o tome, ali Ana je rekla svoje sudbonosno - NE! Nakon što su pre samo par nedelja odbili da joj daju specijalnu pozivnicu za turnir (koji ne može da igra zbog niskog rankinga), organizatori su se predomislili i ipak odlučili da ponude Ivanovićevoj poziv za glavni žreb. No, Ana je ipak odlučila da joj je ovog puta obraz važniji i da neće dozvoliti da organizatori kako im se ćefne koriste njeno ime za prodavanje karata. Evo zvanične izjave:
“I would have loved to have played in Montreal, but I was quite hurt by the comments of Mr Lapierre that I was shown in The Montreal Gazette recently.
“I don’t think his comments were necessary, and they contradicted everything he had told my management previously: that I was not getting a wild card because I am not Canadian.
“The fact that my original request was turned down isn’t really an issue: I would have been happy to play qualifying, but I felt that they kind of stepped over the line with this interview, making public our correspondence and even misrepresenting it. Unfortunately I don’t feel welcome at this tournament.
“Anyway, I am playing New Haven in a week or so, and I am currently at my third straight event (Cincinnati). Even though I haven’t played many matches, the training and travel take their toll, and I think this is the right decision to make, for several reasons.
“I’m sorry to anyone who was hoping to see me play in Canada this year. I’d like to thank the fans in Montreal who supported me during the two times I played there. I really enjoyed it.”
