Unfortunately, they were defeated by Williams Sisters. The match itself does attract many tennis fans but there is another thing that has caused a dispute. Ivanovic and Jankovic met the former US president Bill Clinton and took a picture with him. This photo became a heated topic in many tennis forums. When Bill Clinton was the US president, the US and the NATO were involved Kosovo Crisis. Because of this, Ivanovic and Jankovic shouldn't have taken a picture with Bill Clinton. This photo might irritate the people of Serbia. It reminds me of a question: What's the relationship between Sport and Politics? What do you think of this matter?

Relationship between sports & politics was always good old $$$$, but that's not the subject here...

Here we have 2 famous tennis girls taking photo with 1 celebrity probably most famous guest on that tournament (grandpa Bill is more famous for love scandals than other bad things like Bush).

Both Ana and Jelena are real patriots and doing great things for Serbia, and their people love them. So they should hate Bill and take him as enemy... right? Wrong, hehe...

Nobody got anything from being a "hot-head"... these days even people in Serbia blame more on their own government than Bill for those events in NATO bombing, so... things are not black&white.
