Jelly, the tennis player from Belgrade – a superb Serb – is no dummy. She had begun university, and was despairingly planning to go back for a degree in dramatic arts when her mom talked her out of that scenario and back onto the court — also out of a slump. After all there’s usually more money in tennis, if you’re a winner, than acting (aka waiting on tables), although the dark-haired zesty 23-year-old ain’t a bad thespian.
