Ana Ivanovic has a badass tennis game and a flawless beauty look to go with it. The pro is known for having glowy, bronze skin and wearing her brunette hair in a high ponytail braid (though when she takes it down, she reveals her gorgeous beach waves). As she gears up to play at the US Open in NYC, we chatted with her to find out what products she actually wears while working out to feel good and still look glam.

"When I'm getting ready to go out on the tennis court, I like to focus more on having clean and healthy skin rather than wearing lots of makeup," she said. "To me, when it comes to beauty, less actually is more. Even if I wanted to wear makeup when training or playing professional matches, it just wouldn't stay on — I sweat too much! I do wish I was able to wear a lip gloss or mascara on the court, but having makeup run down my face would be a distraction and would compromise my game. That said, stepping onto the court with a clean, natural and polished look helps to build my confidence and allows me to focus on my performance."

Shiseido Ultimate Sun Protection Lotion

Shiseido Ultimate Sun Protection Lotion

"In the tennis community, we chase the sun around the globe starting in Australia and then on to sunny NYC at the US Open. Most of the tournaments now take place outdoors, so it was really important for me to find the perfect sun protection range that would protect my skin and not affect my game at the same time. I love the Shiseido Ultimate Sun Protection Lotion Broad Spectrum SPF 50+, because my skin is very sensitive. I use it over my whole body before a match, and I’m careful about applying it to areas that are often forgotten, like my neck and ears. As a professional athlete, one of my biggest challenges has been finding a sunscreen that won’t run into my eyes and make them sting. I started using this product, because it doesn’t irritate my eyes. It doesn’t affect my racket grip and it actually works better when in contact in perspiration. Since I know I’m going to be sweating on the court, this helps to put me at ease knowing that I’m still protected from sun damage.

Shiseido Ibuki Quick Fix Mist

Shiseido Ibuki Quick Fix Mist

"It’s very important for me to refresh my skin before and after every match and training session with the Shiseido Ibuki Quick Fix Mist or my skin becomes dull, dry, and loses its natural glow. There is something nice about refreshing and hydrating your face just after you finishing exercising. The mist is perfect for it. It smells clean and almost mint-like. And it’s like having an express cleanse, tone, and hydrate all in one and on the go. I love it. It’s always in my bag!"

Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Nourishing Lip Balm SPF 20

Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Nourishing Lip Balm SPF 20

"It’s important to also protect my lips from the sun, so I apply this lip balm before heading on the court to keep them nourished and protected against damaging sun rays. I like how it enhances my natural lip color and how it gives that beautiful shine without looking too fake. I swear for the products benefits too: I use it for any extreme dryness, irritated red patches on my skin, small burns, and my nail cuticles. It’s a remedy and beauty product all in one."

Essie Polish Nail Polish in Ballet Slippers

Essie Polish Nail Polish in Ballet Slippers

"I always make sure my nails are well-manicured before a match. I don’t feel like my look is complete without a nice manicure, and Essie polishes are my favorite because they rarely chip! Lately, I tend to go for soft, neutral colors, such as Ballet Slippers. I am into the nudes and pastels at the moment, but I do love a major red moment from time to time, too."

Oribe Impermeable Anti-Humidity Spray

Oribe Impermeable Anti-Humidity Spray

"I prefer to wear my hair up when I’m on the court, and hair spray is a must when I compete, especially in windy conditions. In order to keep my hair from frizzing, I apply this antihumidity spray all over my hair. It works well even on the hottest, humid days and it doesn’t let my hair go wild when I play in those extreme outdoor weather conditions. It also offers UV protection for hair which is amazing! Plus, it smells fantastic."

Moroccanoil Dry Texture Spray

Moroccanoil Dry Texture Spray

"I have big hair. It’s full and heavy. When I'm on the court, I use a mousse and hair spray to keep my hair groomed and in place. I love the Moroccan Oil products for my hair. I normally slick back the top of my hair and add a high ponytail: this is either a braid full of volume or loose pony with a curl. I apply this texture spray to my ponytail to prep for no-slip braids with a strong hold. It also adds a bit of that relaxed, beachy texture to the braid. I believe that how you come across on court is what actually draws the people in to you. When you look good, you feel good too and ultimately play better. I think the same can be said about life."

Oribe Gel Serum

Oribe Gel Serum

"Whether my hair is in a braid or ponytail, I always apply gel at the base to keep flyaway hairs out of my face. This gel serum gives the perfect amount of shine and control."

Roja Parfums in Amore Mio

Roja Parfums in Amore Mio

"I love this rich and soft scent, and I give myself a quick spray before heading onto the court. I discovered the fragrance at the beginning of this summer in Roja’s beautiful boutique in Harrods, and it was love at first sight."
