Only a few days ago Aussie Scott was courtside at Wimbledon to see his stunning Serbian girlfriend takes on brave Aussie hopeful and fellow Queenslander Sam Stosur in the third round.

But today the sports shoe was on the other foot as Ivanovic watched Scott at work during the First Round of The Barclays Scottish Open at Loch Lomond Golf Club.

Accompanied by friends Ivanovic - an Australian crowd favourite - chatted with Ernie Els wife, Liezl as boyfriend Scott shot a bogey-free round of 66 - putting him two shots off the lead and firmly in contention after the opening day's play.

But Ivanovic, 22, said Australian Scott, 30, had encouraged her to persevere in the face of adversity.

"The biggest thing, professionally, he has taught me is patience," the Serbian tennis star said.

Patience is exactly what she needed during the most trying year of her career.

Ivanovic struggled with her form to the point of breaking down in tears, and has fallen from No.1 in June 2008 to No.21.

Yesterday, Scott was courtside as she practised ahead of this week's Brisbane International.

The Australian Open champion sat beside Ivanovic's parents, Miroslav and Dragana, and her brother, Milos, during the 60-minute workout.

"I'm just here for the tennis," he said, signing autographs.

Ivanovic battled injuries that kept her off the tour in April and July, and then prematurely ended her year in October.

Ivanovic will officially kick-start her campaign Down Under on Monday night when she plays her first-round match at the inaugural Brisbane International.

The tournament drawcard will face Czech teenager Petra Kvitova, the world No.50, at Pat Rafter Arena after the centre court was set aside for her in the opening night session almost a week ago.

Ivanovic has been training on the Sunshine Coast for the past fortnight to prepare herself for an assault on the Australian Open.

The statuesque 21 year old, currently world ranked No.5 after an injury-hit end to last year, is motivated by her 2008 final loss to Maria Sharapova at Melbourne Park.

“I really want to take it one step further this time and hopefully win it,” she said at the Queensland Tennis Centre on Saturday.

“But I think it’s important not to think too much about the final and take it step by step and enjoy every match.”

The No.1 ranking in the game, held by compatriot Jelena Jankovic, who is yet to win a Grand Slam event, is also at the top of her to-do list, and she is treating the Brisbane event as a key springboard.

“It’s very important to start well and get your confidence and I set some goals for myself this season but my main goal is to try to be very consistent and to perform well at the biggest tournaments and then rankings take care of themselves,” Ivanovic said.

“I’ve worked very hard and I believe I have the qualities to get back to No.1 position. It’s going to be tough for sure but I can do it.

“I think it’s very open. Especially in the last couple of months, women’s tennis has been so close with the race for No.1 position and I think it’s still in play.”

Ana was born in Serbia and started playing tennis at the age of five after watching Monica Seles play on TV. Her training was interrupted in 1999 by the NATO bombings in Belgrade which forced her to train in the morning to avoid any issue. Her mother Dragana, a lawyer, and her father Miroslav, a self employed businessman, encouraged and active family and are at most of Ivanovic’s matches. They have also supported her correspondence studies in finance through the Belgrade’s university.
Ivanovic’s rise to the top of women’s tennis was facilitated by her joining the Adidas Development Program in 2008.
Ana’s best results have come on clay where she famously won her first and only Grand Slam at Roland Garros in 2008. Subsequently she gained the number one ranking, fell early in Wimbledon after celebrating her win in Paris in Serbia and has slowly descended down the world rankings since then. Prior to winning Roland Garros, Ivanovic made the final at the Australian Open in the same year.

Scouting: Ana Ivanovic is one of most promosing tennis players in the world, but she has only really lived up to expectation once and that was the 2008 French Open in which she was the champion. Apart from that Ana has a great serve and hands around the court. She has a very strong forehand and likes to play from the back of the court as much as possible. Her return of serve is also quite strong and she really going for the first shot.

However, she still seems to lack a fair bit of consistency in terms of days in days out. Thus, some days she can turn up on top form and the next day she doesnt even turn up. Additionally, Ana doesnt really seem comfortable when moving forward into the court and seems even more tentative when it comes to volleying.

Ana Ivanović (born November 6, 1987, in Belgrade, SR Serbia, Yugoslavia) is a former World No. 1 Serbian tennis player. As of October 25, 2010, she is ranked World No. 24 on the WTA rankings. She won the 2008 French Open and was the runner-up in singles at the 2007 French Open and the 2008 Australian Open.

Ivanović is an offensive baseliner who is notable for her aggressive play. In 2007 and 2008, Ivanović was regarded as one of the best competitors on the women's tour. After winning the 2008 French Open and becoming #1, Ivanović has endured a significant slump in form. Many critics attribute her loss in form to her lack of confidence and self-belief. At the 2010 Australian Open, Hall of Famer Martina Navratilova commented that, "while she has absolutely no confidence in herself, she still fights till the last point." Currently, she has made some improvements to her playing style since appointing a new coach in 2010. As a result, her confidence is starting to return and slowly brings her to the form that has seen her win the French Open in 2008.
