Former WTA World No.1 Ana Ivanovic is one of the six players to be nominated in the Player Category for the International Tennis Hall of Fame's ballot for the Class of 2024.

Ivanovic won her only Grand Slam title at the 2008 French Open, and subsequently rose to World No.1 for a total of 12 weeks. The Serbian star retired in December 2106, the same year she got married to German football star Bastian Schweinsteiger.

Moya, Paes, Pennetta also receive nominations

Retired Spanish tennis star Carlos Moya also received nominations in that category. The former World No.1 won the French Open in 1998, and also partnered with then-teen sensation Rafael Nadal to win the 2004 Davis Cup trophy.

Italian Flavia Pennetta, who won the US Open singles title in 2015, alongside 1996 Olympics bronze medalist Leander Paes also received nominations. Men's doubles legend Daniel Nestor and women's doubles legend Cara Black rounded out the list of the nominees who could be inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame by the end of the year.
