Goran Ivanišević

Goran Ivanišević is a Croatian former professional tennis player and coach, born in 1971, who reached world number two in singles in July 1994. Known for a thunderous left-handed serve, he held the Wimbledon record for aces for almost two decades with 1,377 before Roger Federer passed it in 2019. He won 22 ATP Tour-level singles titles, the best known being the 2001 Wimbledon Championships, which he took as a wild card ranked 125th in the world, the only singles player ever to do so. He had lost the Wimbledon final in 1992, 1994 and 1998. Ivanišević turned professional in 1988 and played Davis Cup for Yugoslavia until the Croatian declaration of independence. After retiring he coached Marin Čilić to the 2014 US Open and Novak Djokovic to nine major titles, and he entered the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 2020.
