That year, she posted a winking picture of hers and wrote, “Hey guys, nice to join you! :)” The then-12-time Grand Slam champion, Nadal tweeted, “@anaivanovic welcome to this mean of communication. Looking forward to exchanging tweets with you.”

Before hanging her racquets, Ana Ivanovic tied a knot with the German professional footballer, Bastian Schweinsteiger. They were hitched in Venice in July 2016. In March 2018 the couple announced the birth of a baby boy, Luka and in August 2019 their second son was born. The family is based in Chicago, Illinois, United States.

The Spaniard ace, Rafael Nadal concluded his 2019 season as the World Number one tennis player and with two Slams. As an icing on the cake, he was also successful in winning the sixth Davis Cup title for his nation, Spain.
