Growing up on her own

WORLD No 2 tennis player Jelena Jankovic from Serbia (塞尔维亚) has won her second title of the year. She became champion of the China Open on September 28.

At that time, she didn’t speak any English. And her family did not come with her. It was a hard time.

However, it was a good learning experience for Jelena. “It makes me more independent (独立的) and stronger as a person. I know how to do everything by myself so I don’t have to depend on (依赖) my parents or somebody else to do it for me,” she said.
In the US, Jelena received better conditions for practice and development of her game. In 2000, she became a professional (职业选手) and has been shining on the tennis court ever since.
