Though she was beaten in the semifinals of the year-ending Championships, Jelena Jankovic was still excited about meeting the President of her home country, meeting a model from a fashion show, and seeing the premiere of the film that is about her career, along with receiving gifts from a designer and a bouquet of flowers from fellow Serb and Masters Cup winner Novak Djokovic.
Jankovic met Boris Tadic, received gifts from designer Roberto Cavalli, and also hit the fashion stage, presenting some new creations that she designed.
"I'm very proud of myself for all I have accomplished in 2008," said Jankovic. "I worked very hard and fulfilled the dream I had since I held a tennis racquet in my hands for the first time. I can't find the right words in this moment. I remember the time when I was 10-years-old and trained in a cold balloon on Red Star courts at 6am. Thank you all for the support; my dream came true".
