the record for most aces at Wimbledon with 1,377 (before Roger Federer broke it in 2019). Ivanišević was
inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 2020.[5]

Following his playing career, Ivanišević coached Marin Čilić from September 2013 to July 2016, leading
Čilić to his only major title to date at the 2014 US Open.[6] He then coached Novak Djokovic from 2019 to
2024, leading Djokovic to 12 major titles. In November 2024, he was announced as the new coach of Elena

win Wimbledon.[28] To date, he is the only male entrant to have won a Grand Slam singles title as a wild
card. His Wimbledon success was rated sixteenth at the list of 100 Greatest Sporting Moments by a British television programme. Ivanišević dedicated his
victory to Croatian basketball player Dražen Petrović.[29]

On 10 July 2001, Ivanišević received a hero's welcome in his home city of Split where a crowd of over 150,000 led by local and state dignitaries greeted him at
the central harbor, with a parade of boats and fireworks, topped off by Ivanišević himself taking off his clothes and jumping into the sea.[30][31] Later that year
he received the BBC Overseas Sports Personality of the Year Award.

The 2001 Wimbledon title was the last grand slam (individual) win of Ivanišević's career. He temporarily retired in 2002
due to shoulder surgery. He returned to tennis sparingly in the following years but, in 2004, retired after a third-round
loss to Lleyton Hewitt at Wimbledon, held on the Centre Court, the scene of his greatest triumph.

In 2005, he was part of the Croatian Davis Cup team that won the Davis Cup, although he did not play.[32]

Football
Ivanišević played football for the Croatian team Hajduk Split in 2001.[33] A supporter of English team West Bromwich
Albion, he became a fan after the Midland club's escape from Premiership relegation in 2005.[34] He wore an Albion
shirt whilst warming up prior to the 2006 BlackRock Masters final[35] and finally watched his first match in December
2011, as West Bromwich Albion played Queens Park Rangers at Loftus Road.[36]

Ivanišević also participated in an exhibition match of the Croatian national team of 1998 versus the International football
stars on 7 October 2002 in Zagreb. It was the last career match of Croatian midfielder and team captain Zvonimir Boban. Goran Ivanišević and Mario Ančić
Ivanišević scored the goal for 1–1 (the game ended 2–1 for the International stars). playing doubles during the 2004
Queen's Club Championships.

Playing style
Ivanisevic was a serve and volleyer and played a fast, aggressive game suited to grass courts. He was known for his powerful and accurate left-handed serve,
particularly his first serve that was clutch, and is widely considered one of the most dominant servers in the history of tennis. He often won entire games
without the ball being returned.
Like many serve-and-volleyers, Ivanisevic's return game and defence was weaker due to his powerful but inconsistent groundstrokes. On the backhand side, he
would often use the slice instead of hitting with top-spin and use the chip-and-charge tactic to come to the net.

Post-playing

Senior tennis tour and other engagements

Right after retiring from the ATP Tour in 2004, Ivanišević started playing on the ATP Champions Tour (seniors' circuit).

In 2005, he was a member of the Croatian team for the Davis Cup final against Slovakia in Bratislava, although he did not play. Croatia won the final 3–2.
Ivanišević received a winner's medal and his name was engraved on the trophy along with Mario Ančić, Ivo Karlović, Ivan Ljubičić and team captain Nikola
Pilić.

In June 2006, he performed in the Calderstones Park tournament in Liverpool. In November of the same year, Ivanišević won the Merrill Lynch Tour of
Champions tournament in Frankfurt, defeating John McEnroe 7–6(12), 7–6(1).

In 2007, Roger Federer, seeking his 5th consecutive Wimbledon title against Rafael Nadal in the final, practiced with Ivanišević. Federer said the practice
session helped him against Nadal.

As of 2019, Ivanišević still takes part in tournaments on the seniors' circuit, and he is currently coaching Novak Djokovic.

On 17 July, Ivanišević faced Rafter once again in an exhibition match on 2019 Croatia Open Umag. The match was held to celebrate 18th "birthday" of the
famous 2001 Wimbledon final in which Ivanišević won. Ivanišević won once again 6–4, 6–4. The Croatian Open Centre Court has also been renamed in
Ivanišević's honour.

Investments
Retiring in 2004 also allowed thirty-three-year-old Ivanišević to devote more attention to investing in the real estate and construction industries, which he had
already been involved with since 1998, conducting the activities through the simultaneously registered Sport Line limited liability company based in Split,
Croatia. Due to Ivanišević still being an active tennis player at the time of the venture's launch, most of the company's initial day-to-day business was handled
by his father Srdjan. Their main activity was an ambitious undertaking—construction of a 65-unit luxury apartment building in the Split neighbourhood of
Firule. Named "Lazarica 2", the building's construction was supposed to start in November 1998 and finish by late 2000.[37] After many delays,[38] the project
finally completed in 2003, but dragged the company into debt due to many unsold units.[39]

News of Ivanišević's financial problems first appeared in the summer of 2005 after he talked about it in an interview with Globus newsmagazine, revealing
Lazarica 2 to be a "failed project",[40][41] as well as admitting to being "devoured by sharks" after hastily getting into investments that in hindsight he viewed as
"jumping overnight from kindergarten to university".[42][43][44] Later that year, he also talked to the Daily Telegraph about "losing substantial amount of
money" in some of his investments.[45]

By September 2006, after months of speculation,[46][47] Ivanišević joined a group of investors—including active AC Milan footballer Dario Šimić, retired
basketball player Ivica Žurić as well as businessmen Marijan Šarić, Mate Šarić, and Batheja Pramod—for a joint HRK93 million (~€12.5 million) investment
into the added market capitalization of Karlovačka banka.[48] Ivanišević, Šimić, and Žurić invested HRK19 million (~€2.5 million) each, thus each obtaining
9% ownership stake in the bank.[49]

Ivanišević's finances became news again in August 2010 after reports of his Sunseeker Predator 72 motor yacht being repossessed by Hypo Leasing Kroatien, a
subsidiary of Hypo Alpe Adria Bank due to reportedly a full year of Ivanišević failing to meet his €12,000 monthly lease payments.[50] Ivanišević would deny
this, saying that the yacht was returned due to mechanical defect.[51]

On 31 January 2013, after accumulating debts of HRK5.7 million (~€752,000), Ivanišević's company Sport Line filed for bankruptcy settlement proceedings
before the Croatian Trade Court. Among the list of entities the company reportedly owed money to is the Croatian government in the amount of HRK1.1 million
(~€145,000).[52] Additionally, even his real estate business, conducted through another limited liability company, Goran promocije, was in trouble, with its
account blocked for over a year with debts of HRK1.14 million.[53][54] According to Croatian media reports, as of his company's 2013 bankruptcy proceedings,
most of Ivanišević's assets—such as his two Zagreb apartments, his ownership stake in Karlovačka banka, and his 40,000 m2 of land in Duilovo—were safe
from being sold off or liquidated as he had already signed them over to either his wife Tatjana Dragović (the Zagreb apartments and bank stake) or his mother
Gorana Ivanišević (the plot of land).[54][55][53]

Meje villa and Duilovo land controversy

Soon after his memorable 2001 Wimbledon win and the next day's rapturous hero's homecoming with 150,000 people coming out to greet him in the Split
harbour, Ivanišević purchased a derelict seaside property within the Marjan hill park/forest in the neighbourhood of Meje adjacent to the city centre.
Simultaneously, he further bought an undeveloped 40,000 m2 plot of land in Duilovo on the city outskirts.[56] Despite the city of Split urban development plan
intending the attractively located area by the sea in Meje for public use, the tennis player successfully petitioned the city authorities into changing their plan
thus opening the door for tearing down the existing dilapidated structure and instead building a private use 1,000 m2 modernist villa, which Ivanišević claimed
would become his family home once he retires from playing tennis professionally.[57] Furthermore, he managed to obtain approval for the land in Duilovo to be
re-purposed from green to sporting usage.[57] In his 2001 application submission to the Split city council, the Wimbledon champion tied the two construction
projects together, asking to be allowed to build a private-use property in Meje while promising to "give back to the citizens of Split and Croatian sports" by
building a youth tennis academy on the plot of land in Duilovo.[57] Furthermore, Ivanišević's application contained the following emotional appeal: "It's been a
long time wish of mine to, at long last, settle down in the city of my birth, the home of my ancestors for centuries. I want to give permanence to my family's
residence and I want to do so not by spatial conquest but by building a contemporary villa".[57]

Amid vociferous exchanges in the local Split-based press invoking "civic pride" and "investor flight out of the city",[57] including Ivanišević himself
complaining about being "chased out of Split to Zagreb", the Split city council granted its hometown hero, Wimbledon champion Ivanišević, a special status for
both projects: his family home construction project in Meje and his tennis academy project in Duilovo.

By 2006, the construction of the new 1,500 m2 three-storey, five-bedroom villa designed by his relative, architect Vjeko Ivanišević on a 1,560 m2 plot of land
was completed with extensive amenities such as an indoor and outdoor pool, Jacuzzi, sauna, weight room, and wine cellar.[58][59] During the villa's early-to-mid
2000s construction, when not in tournaments, Ivanišević (an active professional tennis player until 2004) spent most of his time in Zagreb where he had already
been owning multiple residential properties. However, even after retiring in 2004, contrary to his earlier pronouncements, he never moved into the Split villa
once it was complete in 2006, instead continuing to reside in Zagreb with his model girlfriend Tatjana Dragović.

By January 2008, the retired tennis player announced the sale of his Split villa, putting it on the market for HRK57 million (~€7 million).[58] The move instantly
provoked angry reactions in the Croatian public and Split-based media outlets with accusations of "exploiting his hometown hero status" and "not only
emotionally blackmailing his fellow Splićani but also outright lying to them" being directed at Ivanišević.[60][61]

After more than four years on the market and multiple re-listings with a lower asking price[62][63]—including being offered in 2010 through the British real
estate agency Savills that advertised it in the English press during fall 2010 as a high-end weekend escape property[64][65]—the villa (that had been listed for
HRK31 million as of summer 2011)[66] was in May 2012 sold to the Hvar-born, Russia-based Croatian businessman Stefano Vlahović for an undisclosed
amount widely speculated to be less than half of the amount Ivanišević originally asked for.[66][67]

In addition to never using the villa as a family home, thus breaking the pledge made in his 2001 city of Split urban development plan change application,
Ivanišević also failed to deliver on another promise he made in the same application—that of building a youth tennis academy in Duilovo.[57] Instead, in 2012,
the Split city authorities allowed the retired tennis player to once again re-purpose his 40,000 m2 Duilovo plot of land under the city development plan, this time
for mixed usage,[57] all of which was a prelude to Ivanišević selling the land in 2015 to the real estate developer Ciril Zovko.[61][60][68]

Sports administration
In August 2005 Ivanišević got voted to be one of four vice-presidents of the Croatian Olympic Committee (HOO) working under president Zlatko Mateša.[69]

Coaching

Marin Čilić (2013—2016)

In June 2013, in the wake of Marin Čilić's doping-related nine-month suspension that came into effect in the middle of his 2013 Wimbledon participation, the
player reached out to his compatriot Ivanišević to become his new coach.[70] Čilić's suspension was eventually reduced to 4 months.[70]
Čilić won the 2014 US Open under Ivanišević's guidance.[71] The two split after the 2016 Wimbledon where Čilić lost a tough five-set quarterfinal match to
Roger Federer having initially been up 2-sets-to-none.

Tomáš Berdych (2016—2017)

Only weeks after Ivanišević's split with Čilić, Tomáš Berdych announced on 8 August 2016 via social media that Ivanišević will begin coaching him, starting at
2016 Western & Southern Open.

In early June 2017, immediately after Berdych's second round upset loss to unseeded Karen Khachanov at the 2017 French Open, the 14th-ranked ATP player
Berdych fired his coach Ivanišević.[72]

Milos Raonic (2018—2019)

In February 2018, the 31st-ranked ATP player and 2016 Wimbledon finalist Milos Raonic—having had his 2017 season marked by prolonged layoffs due to
wrist and knee injury issues in addition to just coming off being eliminated from the Australian Open in a first round upset to unseeded Lukáš Lacko—looked to
hire a new coach by holding separate trials with Jonas Björkman during the Delray Beach Open and Ivanišević during the Indian Wells Masters.[73][74] Soon
after, having made the semifinals at Indian Wells, Raonic hired Ivanišević.

Ivanišević coached Raonic until just before the 2019 Indian Wells Masters, when Raonic announced that he would be getting a new coach Fabrice Santoro.[75]
In a December 2019 interview, ten months removed from his collaboration with Raonic, Ivanišević (now coaching Novak Djokovic) described the experience of
coaching Raonic as being "filled with struggles due to lack of proper communication", likening it to "talking to a wall" and adding that Raonic should have
gotten a psychiatrist instead of a coach.[76]

Novak Djokovic (2019—2024)

On 30 June 2019, Novak Djokovic confirmed that he had added Ivanišević to his coaching team.[77] Working alongside Djokovic's existing coach Marian Vajda,
Ivanišević's first order of business was the 2019 Wimbledon. However, due to a previously agreed commitment—exhibition match versus Goran Prpić ahead of
the 2019 Croatia Open in Umag—he could be with Djokovic at Wimbledon for only the first week of the tournament, thus missing Djokovic's epic final win
versus Roger Federer. Discussing his initial week-long interaction with Djokovic, Ivanišević praised the player's "perfectionism", stating to have felt "wanted as
a coach for the first time in a long time" while simultaneously experiencing the "pleasure of coaching an individual that asks questions and actually listens to
and processes what you have to say" and adding that he has "tragically had a more meaningful and worthwhile communication with Djokovic in an hour than
with Raonic in the entire year".[78]

On 27 March 2024, Novak Djokovic announced their separation.[79]

Elena Rybakina (2025–)

On 1 November 2024, Elena Rybakina confirmed that she had hired Ivanišević as her new coach, with the partnership set to begin with the 2025 WTA
Tour.[80][81]

Personal life
During the early 1990s, several years after turning professional, young tennis player Ivanišević began dating the Croatian model and 1990 Queen of the World
beauty pageant winner Daniela Mihalić, two years his senior.[82] The couple soon moved in together, residing in his properties in both Split and Monte
Carlo.[83] The relationship ended in the mid 1990s after five years together; following the split, Mihalić would go on to marry football coach Nenad Gračan.[84]

Marriages
In 1998, 27-year-old Ivanišević began dating 17-year-old Serbian-Croatian model Tatjana Dragović after reportedly seeing her on the cover of the Cosmopolitan
magazine's September 1996 edition and subsequently obtaining her phone number by contacting her New York City-based modeling agency, Elite.[85][86][87]
Ivanišević married Dragović in 2009 and they have two children, Amber Maria and Emanuel. Their official divorce proceedings, reportedly initiated by
Dragović, began in April 2013.[88][89]

He has one child, Oliver, with his second wife Nives Čanović.

His eldest son Emanuel is also playing tennis. In 2023, he has won U-16 Croatian doubles championships.[90]

Political endorsements

Support for Croat generals indicted for war crimes

In July 2001, fresh off winning Wimbledon, Ivanišević reportedly joined 10 other prominent Croatian professional athletes in addressing the Croatian
government and parliament via signing an open letter expressing their disapproval of the Croatian authorities' (under Prime Minister Ivica Račan) decision to
co-operate with the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in The Hague by handing over two Croatian Army generals indicted for
crimes against humanity during Yugoslav Wars, Rahim Ademi and Ante Gotovina.[91][92][93][94] Claiming to be speaking up out of "human and moral obligation
to our greatest heroes", the 11 athletes express being horrified at the Croatian government's decision to hand over war crimes suspects, seeing it as an attempt to
"distort historical facts" before concluding that the "one and only truth is that Croatia was a victim [in the Yugoslav Wars] while its soldiers and generals were
heroes".[91][93][94] Among the other Croatian athletes that signed the letter were Zvonimir Boban, Alen Bokšić, Davor Šuker, Slaven Bilić, Igor Štimac, Aljoša
Asanović, Dino Rađa, and Stojko Vranković.[91][92][93]
The letter caused immediate reaction in Croatia, including Science and Higher Education Union (NSZ) sarcastically dismissing the signatories as "pro athletes
on their yachts and in their Ferraris [who] would certainly not be feeling the pain of resulting international political and economic sanctions inflicted upon
Croatia were it to refuse co-operation with the ICTY".[95] The reaction to the letter prompted Ivanišević's father Srđan to come out with a claim that his son's
signature on the letter is a "forgery designed to publicly embarrass him due to his well-known opposition to extradition of any Croats to the Hague tribunal".[95]
For his part, when asked about the signature, Ivanišević himself claimed "to not remember signing it" but that he nevertheless "agrees with its points".[95]

Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ)

Throughout 2007, ahead of the 2007 Croatian parliamentary election, retired tennis player Ivanišević participated in promoting the ruling Croatian Democratic
Union (HDZ) of incumbent Prime Minister Ivo Sanader via personal appearances at campaign stops and in television ads.[96][97]

At a late June 2007 rally at the Dražen Petrović Basketball Hall, where he arrived with his pregnant girlfriend Tatjana Dragović, Ivanišević addressed the crowd
using tennis analogies: "Over the previous 4 years, we [Croatia led by Sanader and the HDZ] learned the backhand, forehand, and baseline play; and in the last
10 years we've mastered the serve; now, we have to learn net play by being accepted into the European Union".[98][99][100] Also endorsing the HDZ on this
campaign trail were other prominent Croatian sporting figures such as retired basketball star Dino Rađa, active footballers Niko Kovač and Tomislav Butina,
retired water polo player Zdeslav Vrdoljak, retired basketball players Franjo Arapović and Stojko Vranković, handball coach Lino Červar, retired handballer
Slavko Goluža, football administrators Zdravko and Zoran Mamić, boxer Stipe Drviš, active water polo players Teo Đogaš, Mile Smodlaka, and Josip Pavić,
and active handballers Ivano Balić, Petar Metličić, and Renato Sulić.[97][98][99][101]

Weeks prior to the election, the HDZ released a number of television ads with the sporting figures endorsing the party. One such ad features Ivanišević
delivering a tennis pun into the camera by stating that he "trusts Sanader and his aces".[101][102][103] In March 2008, months following the election that the HDZ
had won, responding to an interview question about his motivation to endorse the HDZ, Ivanišević claimed to have been "supporting PM Sanader, not the
HDZ", adding that he believes in Sanader.[104]
