Goran Ivanisevic Under Fire: Mouratoglou Slams His ‘Not Training’ Approach!
When Goran Ivanisevic took over as coach of Stefanos Tsitsipas, the tennis world didn’t cheer — it gasped. The legendary French coach Patrick Mouratoglou, who worked with Tsitsipas before Ivanisevic, didn’t hold back in his criticism.
Mouratoglou blasted Ivanisevic’s methods: “This is not training, especially when you’re just starting with a player. A coach’s job is to build, support, and guide — not to tear down. Respect and trust must come first.” Ouch! That hit like a bombshell in tennis circles.
Ivanisevic, on the other hand, was brutally honest about Tsitsipas’s fitness. “He wants to, but he does nothing. I’ve never seen a less prepared player in my life. I’m three times fitter with my knee than he is!” he told Sport Klub, shocking fans with his bluntness.
Tsitsipas has been in a results slump lately, desperately trying to claw back to the top of the tennis world. Ivanisevic took the coaching reins after splitting with Novak Djokovic and a brief stint with Elena Rybakina, but right from the start, he showed he won’t sugarcoat anything — not for the player, not for himself.
This tennis drama raises big questions: Is Ivanisevic’s approach too harsh? Can Tsitsipas handle this pressure? And what’s next for his career? The tennis world is split, and we’re all on the edge of our seats to see how this saga unfolds.
