THE Goran Ivanisevic He is in Croatia these days for the Umag tournament, as he has assumed the role of Ambassador.
Speaking in the middle of his country, the 53 -year -old Croatian coach reported In the recent … infamous statements he had made to Stefanos Tsitsipas and his physical and mental state, a few hours after his exclusion from Wimbledon.
Ivanisvic said that statements They teased the Greek tennis player, who, as he made clear, will have a difficult way to return to the elite of world tennis, however It would be a shame if he does not fight and does not get to where he is worth it.
In detail the statements:
“The statements were a little teased. When an athlete “wakes up” selfishness, he hardly receives criticism. I have said it to myself: tennis is a harsh, individual sport. To stand in the court, you have to be completely ready, both physically and mentally. In this year’s Wimbledon, unfortunately, it was neither one nor. He had problems in the middle, he had a lot to manage.
The truth is that he is a player who belongs to the Top-10. If he manages to overcome the problem with his back and if he finds the flame again to fight at a top level, then I believe he can return where he deserves. Because, in tennis, there are no substitutes. You are alone on the court, and the battle is personal. There will always be ups and downs. The point is to want to fight. But if this motivation does not find again, then returning to the top will be very difficult.
First he must fully restore his condition physically. If it is not 100% ready, it cannot be co -as with the top. He has to wait for his opportunity and be ready to grab it when it comes. But this requires absolute readiness, not only in the body but also in the mind.
The road is not easy. There is no magic wand, no easy solutions. Only the job and the more, the better. But he is so good, so special player, that it would be a shame not to be among the top. And that is not just a wish. It’s a realistic perspective, as long as he believes it first. “
