"One of the best moves Stefanos has made": Fans react to Stefanos Tsitsipas hiring Goran Ivanisevic as coach

Tennis fans react to the news of Greece’s Stefanos Tsitsipas hiring one-time Grand Slam winner Goran Ivanisevic as his coach. The 26-year-old, who is regarded as one of the most talented players currently playing in men’s tennis in the singles category, has struggled to produce results consistently on the court, especially after parting ways from his father who was his long-time coach.

As per the latest report, Tsitsipas has hired Ivanisevic as his coach. Some media reports claim that the 53-year-old, who is famous for his coaching stint with the former world number one and Serbia’s legendary tennis star Novak Djokovic, will join the Greek tennis star after the French Open. Tennis fans on the social media platform reacted to the news. One fan stated that the move might well make the Athens-born star one of the dark horses for the Grand Slams later in the year. “Awesome! 🤩 I think Stef is coming for a Grand Slam and is my Dark Horse pick for RG25.”

Another one wrote: “Glad to see that. He deserves a good place after that Rybakina mess.” One fan mentioned that the move might be the best one from Tsitsipas in his career. “One of the best moves Stefanos has made.”

Tsitsipas recently played in the Monte-Carlo Masters, but his journey ended in the quarterfinal when he lost to Italy’s Lorenzo Musetti with a score of 1-6, 6-3, 6-4. Before that, he played in the Miami Open, but his journey ended in the second round when he lost to America’s Sebastian Korda in straight sets with a score of 7-6, 6-4. During the competition, he spoke about how his game has improved in recent years.

“I wasn’t doing great lately, and the last few months weren’t amazing for me,” he said back then. “I didn’t have any big results or victories that I could say that I’m headed towards a good direction with my game. So I feel like that caption sort of was a summary of the last few months.
