After a few months of rest, Goran Ivanisevic is ready for a new professional adventure alongside the Kazakh tennis star Elena Rybakina. A new collaboration that should help the former 2022 Wimbledon winner to relaunch her career after the last difficult months, marked by various physical problems.
In an interview with Tennis Majors, Novak Djokovic’s former coach revealed the reasons that led him to work with the 2022 Wimbledon champion.
“There were other offers, but I think I chose the right one for me, for Elena’s style of play and potential, but also for her personality. Elena is calm and I can’t wait to start. I think it will be great. I don’t know her personally, but my friend Zule is her fitness coach, we worked together with Tomas Berdych, and in general she is said to be a great person. Game-wise, she has a great serve, she is tall, she hits hard and plays aggressively, she won Wimbledon just like me. I feel like I can teach her something. I mean, she is already WTA No. 5, but I think she can win more Slams, that’s for sure,” said Ivanisevic.
