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

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Enough of her bullshit. Go marry someone.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.
mandoist05-11-2026 - Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.
mandoist05-11-2026 - Vacherot is Mongasque, rather than Swiss. The tournament was Swiss :DTrwd7702-11-2026
- After a couple decades traveling to IIHF tourneys overseas... our family is done with it... and I will not be the only one!! Bad enough the NHL allows Ovachenko (a Putin Supporter and Campaigner) to live and play in the USA. Let's not forget the STATE SPONSORED RUSSIAN DOPING PROGRAMS still in effect today.
mandoist31-10-2026 - Osaka's mental state apparently does not allow her to reach any more Quarter Finals? I mean, she doesn't really have the time for tennis with all the pre-planning that must go into her 12 year-old "fashion" goals.
mandoist29-10-2026 - With her money one would think she could afford a better team of Psychiatrists?
