World-ranked Serbian tennis star Ana Ivanovic alluded on the issue of relationship in a recent interview. Ivanovic, who briefly dated Bayern Munich's midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger, has said that she makes sure that she has time for love.

In an interview for the September-October issue of Bella Magazine, in which she is also featured on the cover, Ivanovic said that she has time for love no matter how busy her tennis schedule is. "I would say, yes, there is always time (for love), if you meet the right person," Ivanovic said on whether or not she has time to date.

Unfortunately, Ivanovic said she doesn't get to meet and mingle with a lot of guys due to the demands of her career. "One of the downsides of the job is that I am traveling so much, and I don't have so much time to socialize, as people who have a more traditional job might do, so it's hard," Ivanovic added.

Ivanovic also talked about her future after tennis in her magazine feature. According to Ivanovic, it will be hard for her to completely rule out tennis from her life even after she is no longer competing professionally. She said she doesn't want to be a tennis coach, though.

Ivanovic has plans to embark on a business venture. She added that she has already capitalised in and working toward an assortment of real estate properties. Ivanovic revealed that she has partnered with a "very high-end property development company." She hopes that she will be able to devote more time in the real estate business. In addition, Ivanovic has said that she also has thoughts on breaking into the fashion industry.

Meanwhile, Serbian press claims that Ivanovic has rekindled her short romance with Schweinsteiger. The pair were reportedly spotted in Belgrade over the weekend. Ivanovic has a few relatives who live in Belgrade whom she visits every year. Women Tennis Blog has shared some snaps of Ivanovic's recent getaway with the German footballer.

Schweinsteiger has flown to Belgrade via private jet and had a bunch of security with him. Apparently, the pair tried to keep a low-profile as Ivanovic tried to keep their little date private. The area in the restaurant where they dined were closed to other guests. Ivanovic and Schweinsteiger have also left the restaurant separately, but it wasn't enough because the prying eyes of paparazzi caught them.
