Goran Ivanisevic shares something which he really hates about modern-day tennis, Andy Murray would strongly agree.

Goran Ivanisevic shares something which he really hates about modern-day tennis, Andy Murray would strongly agree.

Goran Ivanisevic defied the odds when he won Wimbledon as a wildcard entrant back in 2001.

The Croatian player took out Tim Henman in a rain-affected semi-final and then defeated Pat Rafter in a final which took place on a Monday afternoon.

It was the defining moment for Ivanisevic in a brilliant career which saw him win 22 singles titles and reach number two in the world rankings.

The big-serving player never really got close to winning any of the other major titles, with a semi-final at the US Open in 1996 as close as he came prior to his glorious year at Wimbledon.

After retiring from tennis, he embarked on a career in coaching and most notably helped Novak Djokovic win a glut of titles from 2019 to 2024.
