Eurosport spent a minute with former world number one Jelena Jankovic and discovered that the wannabe actress is building a house in America.

Your mates are over for dinner - what do you cook?

This is the wrong question for me because I don’t know how to cook. I would probably buy something and then pretend that I cooked it! I don’t want to poison anyone.

Your house is on fire - what do you save?

My family – but don’t ask me to choose between them. I couldn’t just take one person.

Who is your perfect man?

For now, it’s my boyfriend.

Have you ever gone on a blind date?

No, I can’t say I ever have. I have to know somebody before I go on a date with them.

What is on your iPod?

Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Alicia Keyes.

What is the worst place you've ever visited?

Every city has good sides and bad sides so it’s tough to say one place.

If you weren't a sportswoman, what would you be?

An actress.

Have you ever been mistaken for someone else who is famous?

Not that I know of!

What would you sing at karaoke?

I’m too shy to do karaoke. I just sing for my own ears. I’m a bad singer; other people would run away if they heard me.

If you could have a dinner party with three people, dead or alive, who would you pick?

My grandmother, who passed away, and my brothers or parents. The people who are closest to me.

What's the most extravagant purchase you have ever made?

I am building my own house, a dream house in America. That’s definitely expensive!
