MOTHERHOOD
She gave birth to her son Strahinja in 2013, but returned to international competition the following year ahead of the 2014 World Championship in Italy. She also believes her performance has improved with motherhood and age. "You can see it in my play. Now I know what I want and how to react in some situations. After pregnancy I play much more mature. Since I became a mother I feel better, fulfilled and some things are easier to do. I experience many things in a different way." (novosti.rs, 12 May 2015)
