Former pro tennis player Ana Ivanovic rocked a teeny yellow bikini for her turn in the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, which the brand revisited for the star athlete’s birthday.

The post also linked to a gallery of dozens more pics of the Serbian athlete — all with a tennis theme.

“Wishing happiest of birthday’s to Serbian model and SI Swimsuit model, Ana Ivanovic!” the brand captioned its Thursday, November 6 share to X (formerly Twitter). “Revisit the retired tennis professional’s photoshoot here.”

The accompanying gallery on Sports Illustrated Swimsuit showed Ivanovic, now 38, in the yellow bikini — a bandeau top and matching bottoms ‑ and stiletto heels. She’s wrapped in a tennis tent. The style of swimsuit looked good on her; for her second look, she wore a pink version, which she modeled in a sea of matching pink tennis balls.

All photos were taken by Marlena Bielinska for the 2010 issue of the iconic magazine.

Two years prior, Ivanovic won her biggest title: the 2008 French Open, her only Grand Slam singles title, against Dinara Safina. She also won 15 WTA singles titles throughout her impressive career, during which she was ranked No. 1 by the WTA for 12 weeks.

She recently made a star appearance at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in October, and does high-level collabs with UNICEF, Rolex and Schwarzkopf hair products.
