'Goosebumps' for daddy Djokovic

Ana Ivanovic said she was thrilled for men's world No 1 Novak Djoko-vic on Wednesday after her childhood friend announced the birth of his first child. Ivanovic, who grew up playing tennis with Djokovic in Belgrade, said she had goosebumps when she heard the news about his baby son, Stefan. "It's actually a scary thought. We're the same age," the 26-year-old said at the WTA Finals in Singa-pore, where she beat Eugenie Bouchard 6-1, 6-3 on Wednesday. "But it's great news. I actually found out this morning after I woke up and I was really thrilled for them. I got goosebumps. It's really thrilling and I'm really happy for them."
