“The serve definitely was the thing that kind of was missing, but also, it didn’t help me when I needed it,” he added. “I was playing with a second serve. The entire second and third set, I was playing with just one serve…

We’ll have to wait and see if these are issues that Ivanisevic will potentially be addressing—if the Croatian indeed joins Tsitsipas’ coaching team after Roland Garros.
Ivanisevic has previously worked with Marin Cilic, Tomas Berdych, Milos Raonic and more, though his most successful stint saw him rack up 12 Grand Slam victories with Djokovic over their six-year partnership. He began the 2025 season working with former Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina, but he announced the end of their coaching trial after the Australian Open.
