Personal: Valentina Ivankovic – daughter of Marinko and Ana Ivankovic – majoring in business management at Wilmington University – from Oberndorf bei Sbg, Austria – favorite athletes are Maria Sharopova and Roger Federer – also enjoys singing and dancing – the thing she misses most about being a kid is not having that many worries – if she could date a celebrity it would be Maluma – the greatest piece of advice she has ever received is, "There is no elevator to success, you have to take the stairs" – the perfect meal for her would be Cevapcici (Croatian dish) - considers her mom and dad her heroes in life – would choose tattoos over piercings, animals over people, sunsets over sunrises, and dogs over cats.
