Jelena Jankovic will be 26 this coming February, the same age that Amelie Mauresmo was when she won her first Grand Slam title in 2006 at the Australian Open. The French phenom, was also No1 in the world for some time without one of the biggest tennis crowns to her name. Amelie was able to change her fortune, and so will Jankovic in 2011. Why is this year so important for this Serbian star? Because no former No1 has ever won their maiden Grand Slam title at an older age then Mauresmo did at 26. If Jelena misses the mark next year, she will enter uncharted territory and have to win her first Grand Slam title being older than any of her WTA predecessors in history. Of course itwouldn’t be the first time Jelena has accomplished somethingunprecedented in WTA tournaments and rankings. In 2008 she became the only No1 in history without an appearance in a Grand Slam final, a fact she erased few weeks later earning a spot in the US Open title match. As 2008 came to a close she was crowned as the first WTA World champion without a Grand Slam title, a fact that Jelena gets rash about whenever questioned in the media. “Grand Slams are not the only tournaments in tennis. There are other big titles I have won”, seems to be Jelena's stock answer when the question arises. I believe that deep down, she knows what the most important titles in tennis are, and won't give up fighting until she has one of them.
