There’s No Magic Wand” – Ivanisevic Calls for Hard Work from Tsitsipas

With the ATP Umag tournament underway, Goran Ivanišević – one of tennis’s most respected voices – sat down with Dnevnik Nove TV to reflect on the current state of the men’s game. While he had praise for rising stars like Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, it was his honest assessment of Stefanos Tsitsipas, his newest protégé, that stood out.

• Ivanišević on Tsitsipas: “He’s too good to be where he is right now”
• Tough Love for Tsitsipas
• A Long Road Ahead

Ivanišević, who joined Tsitsipas’ team during the grass court season, didn’t mince words when asked about the Greek’s form — especially following his early Wimbledon exit. “

Ivanišević stressed that nothing will come easy. “There’s no magic wand, no trick — you have to work,” he said. “He must be ready to wait for his chance. When you’re ready in your head and body, and you get your opportunity, take it.”
