Ivanovic targets top 10 return

Madrid - Former top-ranked player Ana Ivanovic is aiming to break back into the top 10 this year.

The 22-year-old Serb briefly held the No. 1 spot in 2008 after winning the French Open, her one and only grand slam title, but is currently ranked 58th after a slump in form.

She says her goal is "to get back into the top 10 this year and I hope to reach No. 1 again."

Ivanovic was speaking at the official presentation of this year's Madrid Open, which will be held May 7-16 and offers $9.8m in prize money.

Ivanovic will be a wild card at the clay court event.
