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

Tennis fans have reacted with excitement following the news that Stefanos Tsitsipas has hired Grand Slam champion Goran Ivanisevic as his new coach.

The 26-year-old Greek star, long hailed as one of the most talented players on the ATP Tour, has struggled to find consistent form in recent seasons—especially after ending his long-standing coaching relationship with his father, Apostolos Tsitsipas.

According to reports, Ivanisevic—who famously guided Novak Djokovic to multiple major titles—will officially begin working with Tsitsipas after the French Open. The move has sparked a wave of positive reactions on social media.

“Awesome! 🤩 I think Stef is coming for a Grand Slam and is my Dark Horse pick for RG25,” one fan posted.

Another added, “Glad to see that. He deserves a good place after that Rybakina mess.”

One popular comment read: “One of the best moves Stefanos has made.”

Recent Form

Tsitsipas’s recent results reflect the need for change. He exited the Monte Carlo Masters in the quarter-finals, falling to Italy’s Lorenzo Musetti 1-6, 6-3, 6-4. Prior to that, he was knocked out in the second round of the Miami Open by Sebastian Korda in straight sets.

Speaking at Monte Carlo, Tsitsipas acknowledged his recent struggles:

“I wasn’t doing great lately, and the last few months weren’t amazing for me,” he admitted. “I didn’t have any big results or victories that showed I was headed in the right direction. So I feel like that kind of summed up my form recently.”

With a seasoned and successful coach like Ivanisevic by his side, fans are hopeful Tsitsipas can rediscover his top-level game—and possibly even contend for a Grand Slam title again this year
