Around SBN: Dissecting Nick Diaz's Positive Drug Test

Has Ana Ivanovic lost some her magic that helped her win the French Open?

What has happened to Ana Ivanovic since she won her first and only grand slan-the french open in 2008? After that win she became the world #1 going into Wimbeldon and then lost early in the tournament.She was going to compete for Serbia in the 2008 Summer Olympics but sustained a injury and pulled out. since 2008, she has been on a rapid descent in the rankings going into the Aussie Open where she was ranked in the 20s and lost early once again this year.

Another former number 1 ranked player in the world who has lost a step is Maria Sharapova, who lost in the first round to fellow russian Maria Kirilenko (who lost to semi-finalist Zheng Jie of China).

Have these two players lost a step in their respective careers or have they each hit a downward spiral that which they might never recover from?
