Nadal, Ivanovic Tee Off

ATP World No. 1 Rafael Nadal and WTA star Ana Ivanovic took time out from their preparations for the 2009 Sony Ericsson Open to tee off at Crandon Park Golf Club on Tuesday.

“It’s very nice,” said Ivanovic of playing golf. “Sometimes it can be very frustrating if you miss a putt, but it is fun and a good way to relax.

“I’m very happy to be here (in Miami), I enjoy competing here. It’s a great tournament, a great event and I’m looking forward for the tournament to start. The crowds are amazing and we always have great supporters. It’s a big event, it’s like the fifth Grand Slam, so everyone wants to do really well here and it’s exciting.”
