The Serbian's position as No 1 in the world has been questioned due to the fact she has not yet landed a major.
The 23-year-old is adamant she will succeed one day and prefers to focus on her achievement of getting to the top of the rankings.
She told the Melbourne Age: "Finishing the year as the number one player in the world is really a huge achievement.
"My time will come, I am only 23 years old. When you win a grand slam they're going to say: 'Yeah, but she hasn't won five grand slams, or 10'. It will always be something.
"But I have my goals and that's the most important thing and my goal is to keep working hard, keep improving, keep becoming better and better as a player.
My goal for this year is to start winning grand slams and I feel like I have the experience, I feel like I'm mature enough and my five minutes will arrive some time soon."
