Ana Ivanovic's startling fall from grace in such a short space of time makes her a big outsider to contend for glory during the Wimbledon fortnight.

Just over 12 months ago the Serbian became world number one following her triumph at the French Open and looked to be on the brink of dominating the women's game.

But ever since that triumph over Dinara Safina, which sealed her first Grand Slam title, she's suffered a string of disappointments and continues to slide down the rankings.

Yet to win a WTA event this year, the 21-year-old recently lost her grip on the Roland Garros crown when being thrashed in straight sets by Victoria Azarenka in the fourth round but even so this was still the furthest she had ventured in the previous four Grand Slam tournaments.

Maybe the right-handed Ivanovic has struggled to cope with the expectations of being top of her sport but if she wants the top prize at SW19 she'll need to somehow turn the clock back quickly.
