"Champion’s mindset": Stefanos Tsitsipas looking forward to 'journey ahead' with new coach Goran Ivanisevic

Greece’s Stefanos Tsitsipas has expressed optimism about his
journey ahead with his new coach Goran Ivanisevic. The 26-year-old recently made a change in his backroom staff after a series of unimpressive performances on the court, which has already forced him out of the top 20 in the ATP rankings.
Tsitsipas, in a post on his official account on the
social media platform Instagram, announced the arrival of the former Wimbledon
winner Ivanisevic as his new coach. The two-time Grand Slam runner-up stated
that he is looking forward to starting a ‘new chapter’ with the former world
number two.
“I’m happy to begin a new chapter with Goran Ivanisevic
joining my team as coach,” wrote Tsitsipas. “Goran’s experience, passion for
the sport, and champion’s mindset are things I greatly respect, and I’m looking
forward to the journey ahead with him by my side. I’m optimistic about what we
can build together.”
Ivanisevic is famous for his coaching stint with Serbia’s
legendary tennis star Novak Djokovic. During their time together, which lasted
six years and ended in 2024, the former world number one, who is often regarded
as the greatest player in the history of men’s tennis in the singles category
in the Open era, lifted as many as 30 titles at the highest level. That included
10 Grand Slams, two ATP Tour Finals and seven ATP 1000 titles.
Tsitsipas is going through a rough patch over the course of the last few years, which also saw him change his coaching staff on more than one occasion. His most recent appearance was at the French Open, where he was
knocked out after losing in the second round to Italy’s Matteo Gigante with a
score of 6-4, 5-7, 6-2, 6-4. It was the seventh occasion this season in 11 competitions
where Tsitsipas suffered a defeat before the quarterfinals stage. Tsitsipas’
best appearance this year came in Dubai, where he lifted the title after
beating Canada’s Felix Auger-Aliassime in the final in straight sets with a
score of 6-3, 6-3.

- Iga is our family's favorite person and player (along with Jasmine P) but Iga is wrong here. According to the WTA 2025 Rule Book she indeed took too long, longer than the occasional Ump's unilateral leniency to allow more time. She surpassed any exception I've seen on clay without Hawkeye. If that's not enough for her or anyone, here's a fact: Try to pressure Kader Nouni, an amazing individual and the WTA #1 male chair ump, and you will lose every time!
mandoist06-06-2025 - In defense of Sabalenka, she is very succinct and analytic when it comes to tennis. Her tennis IQ is admirable. However she's not exactly a Harvard or Oxford graduate when she speaks away from tennis. Might be best to keep interviews short. It's no longer "cute" to seem naive and/or not so bright. As for the lengthy screaming and very late loud vocal tricks, it may have started as a distraction tool. But at this stage it seems more of a Bad Habit Gone Wrong. Not unlike allowing a child to pick their nose as they please, only to eventually be an 18 year-old not just picking their nose... but eating it, too. The extended screaming nonsense is annoying (intended as so?) and unnecessary. Saba's level of noises are not the "physical release" described by coaches and players. It's actually approaching a level of unfairness.mandoist05-06-2025
- The next president of Serbia secured this victory with remarkable ease. Zverev’s sudden shift in level during the final game—saving four match points—raises questions about his overall approach. His tendency to engage in prolonged rallies often works against him. Unless he adopts a more proactive game style and re-evaluates his coaching setup, he risks being remembered as a consistent performer (having earned loads of money) without a Grand Slam title to his name.MrAndreeva05-06-2025
