Ivanovic caught a crucial break when a Serbian tennis instructor touted her to one of his clients, a Swiss businessman named Dan Holzmann. Intrigued, Holzmann invited Ivanovic and her mother to his home in Basel, the Swiss city that produced Roger Federer. "We all fell in love with each other," Holzmann says.
