PARIS: Move over Maria, its Ana's time at the top.

Ana Ivanovic's breakthrough Grand Slam win in the French Open final on Saturday and her elevation to the world No 1 spot, dislodging Maria Sharapova, has set the stage for the Serbian to attain iconic status both within the sport and on the wider scene.

She has the talent, she has the looks, she is only 20 and she is almost too good to be true. She is an ad man's dream.
