What was that one line Cyndi Lauper sang at your prom? Oh yeah: Girls just wanna have fun. Well, 23-year-old WTA star Ana Ivanovic agrees.
She said female tennis players need to "relax." She also mentioned that male tennis players have a lot of fun.
How's that sound Cyndi Lauper? Not so catchy.
But really, the former World No. 1 tennis player's revelation came about a year ago when she played with fellow Serbian Novak Djokovic in the 2010 Hopman Cup.
From Tennis World USA:
"The game of us women would be better if we could perhaps be more relaxed and we let ourselves go a little more on the court," she said. "The difference with the men's tennis is that they appear more relaxed and it seems they do not think the little things."
So, here's a proposed rewrite: Oh, girls need to learn relaxing from boys. Oh, but girls just still wanna have fun.
Yeah, no. I'll just leave the idea to Ivanovic and the song writing to Lauper.
