to play in are Madrid and Paris. I adore Spain, and Paris really is the city of light and love, so there’s really noth- ing more that needs to be added.” You play left-handed. How much is that an ad- vantage and how much is it a problem? “The fact that I’m left-handed is something that I consider more of a pro than a con. People say that it’s always tougher to play against left-handers, due to the different rotation on the serve. And, of course, because a forehand shot often goes towards their backhand.” Who is your tennis role model? Who did you watch as a little girl and dream of one day em- ulating? “I really like watching videos of Monika Seleš. She unfortunately ended her career before I started playing. But her attitude and battling on the court always moti - vated me to one day play like that. Of course, there’s al- so Novak Đoković, who’s done a lot for Serbian tennis and shown us all that nothing’s impossible.” Your father (Predrag Danilović) is one of our all-time greatest basketball players. And yet you didn’t choose basketball or any other team sport. Why is that? “Prior to attending my first tennis training session, where it was a case of love at first sight, I’d already tried my hand at various other sports. But I was never attract - ed to basketball and other team sports. Of course, I adore watching all sports, but I mostly follow volleyball, bas- ketball and football.” Where do you live and how much time do you spend each year in your native Belgrade? “I spend part of the season in Slovenia and part in Spain, and I don’t spend as much time in Belgrade as I’d like. That’s why it really means a lot to me that Air Ser- bia has introduced many new direct flights. I take advan - tage of that when I have a free day to come home and recharge my batteries for new challenges.” You like to watch TV shows in your spare time. We presume that, like the rest of us, you’ve been binge-watching something recently? Any recommendations? “There’s no series that I haven’t watched. I spend a lot of time on the road and it sometimes happens that I watch an entire season in a single day. I would recom - mend Friends, which is my favourite series and one that I gladly return to whenever I don’t know what I’d like to watch. I also enjoying watching the series Lupin.” You job implies flying. Do you like planes and how are your experiences with our own Air Serbia? “Planes are my everyday reality. I always joke around when someone asks me where I reside and I say – at the airport! I adore flying, getting acquainted with new cultures and trying different foods. People who live or study abroad will certainly understand me when I say this: when I set off for Serbia after a long tour and the flight attendant addresses me in Serbia as I board the plane, I have the feeling that I’ve already arrived home.”
