Present at the 2025 ATP Umag in his country, the former Croatian tennis player has become a prominent figure on the current circuit. In his new role as Stefanos Tsitsipas' coach, Goran Ivanisevic surprised the world with statements that did not speak highly of the Greek, highlighting a lack of necessary dedication to try to recover or reach his best level.

The former world number 2, after a few days following his controversial words, appeared at the 2025 ATP Umag to discuss today's tennis with three key figures in the debate: Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz, and Novak Djokovic, even weighing in on the rivalry between the Spanish and the Italian.

"The Wimbledon final was a one-sided match. Sinner was better, and in my opinion, he is slightly ahead of Alcaraz at the moment, and both have a five-shot advantage over the rest. The only one who could challenge them is Novak Djokovic, but the others don't stand a chance," Goran said in statements to gol.

Novak Djokovic's Role in the Sinner-Alcaraz Rivalry

"When you are not at 100% with Sinner, and even when you are, you don't have many chances. I thought Novak could do it, but unfortunately, he wasn't entirely prepared. Djokovic is the greatest tennis player of all time, but what these two are doing is another level of tennis.

Sinner is better, tougher. I don't know what tactics would work against Sinner; he has the answer for everything. He returns, strengthens himself, and wins the tournament," the former Croatian player said about the current landscape.

About Stefanos Tsitsipas

"Tennis is an individual sport, and he wasn't mentally or physically prepared. He must first recover; if he is not at 100%, how will he compete against the best? He has to be ready to wait for his chance. It is a long journey, there is no magic wand, but he is too good a player to be where he is."
