The Greek world-class tennis player Stefanos Tsitsipas brings new expertise into the team. On the edge of the French Open, he announced the collaboration with a top coach.
Tennis star Stefanos Tsitsipas will work with Goran Ivanisevic in the future, as the 26-year-old announced on Instagram-a real coup for the 20th of the current world rankings.
Tsitsipas’ management said that it was “an honor” to be able to announce the new “coaching partnership” with the former Wimbledon champion.
“This exciting collaboration comes just in time for the 2025 lawn season, in which the Greek star wants to increase its performance on one of the most prestigious substrates of sport,” it continues.
Tennis: Ivanisevic and Djokovic celebrated numerous successes
The Croatian Ivanisevic won Wimbledon as an active player in 2001. The former secondary list of world rankings had started the career as a coach after his active career – with great success. In 2014, the 53-year-old now led his Croatian compatriot Marin Cilic at the US Open to his only Grand Slam victory. The paths separated in 2016.
In 2018, Ivanisevic then moved to the team of superstar Novak Djokovic, which he looked after by March 2024. The Serb celebrated numerous successes alongside the tennis teacher, and Djokovic is now a record-Grand Slam winner.
According to Ivanisevic, the fact that both sides still went separate ways did not ultimately “not” “the reason”, as he then explained. “In fact, one cause was the feeling of saturation and fatigue. There were five really difficult and intensive years.”
Now Ivanisevic wants to celebrate new successes with Stefanos Tsitsipa’s. The Greek had slipped down a bit in the ATP ranking in recent years after he was led four years ago as the third best player in the world. The right-hander is still waiting for his first Grand Slam victory.
