Extractions: Sicuramente uno dei giocatori più talentuosi e forti dell'ultimo decennio, Goran Ivanisevic può essere considerato un vero e proprio fuoriclasse dal genio slavo: fantasia e "follia" hanno infatti sempre convissuto nella sua mente non assicurandogli mai una continuità di prestazioni. Finalista per ben tre volte a Wimbledon ('92, '94 e '98), non è mai riuscito a coronare il sogno di vincere il suo torneo preferito. Ha vinto due prove delle Masters Series (Stoccarda '92 e Parigi-Bercy '93) e la Grand Slam Cup del '95. Per sette anni consecutivi (dal '90 al '96) è stato tra i top 10 arrivando fino al n. 2 nel febbraio '97. Da qualche anno non riesce più a giocare ad altissimi livelli e questo ha sicuramente peggiorato la sua già labile psiche. Ha un servizio devastante e ottimi fondamentali. Le sue superfici preferite sono il cemento indoor e l'erba.

Extractions: in Wimbledon ONE of the most extraordinary Wimbledon championships of all time climaxed last fortnight amidst soccer-stadium-like scenes of emotional outpouring in the oldest and most famous tennis stadium in the world, with a 125-1 outsider crowned the new men's champion on what is popularly known as People's Monday. ADAM BUTLER/AP Goran Ivansevic with the Challenge Cup on Centre Court on July 9. Goran Ivanisevic's spectacular five-set victory over Pat Rafter in a final that was the best witnessed on the famous grass court in 20 years was a fitting end to a tournament that featured one of the most eventful men's championships in the long history of Wimbledon. Although the All England Lawn Tennis Club has had to extend the championship before to the third Monday because of the famously fickle English weather, this was the first time that a men's final was actually scheduled for that day. Perhaps electrified by the atmosphere on the centre court the 29-year-old Croatian, who became the first wild card to win a Grand Slam championship, and the 28-year-old Australian served up a wonderful treat. The women's event, for once, rode piggyback on the men's championship and, in terms of dramatic twists, had very little to offer as Venus Williams extended her lease on the famous Venus Rosewater Dish, beating the gifted little Belgian Justine Henin in the final.

Extractions: Why Goran and Venus Won Wimbledon Finals Dateline: 07/09/01 Goran Ivanisevic had virtually disappeared from professional tennis for the last two years, and, ranked 125 in the world, he got into this year's Wimbledon on a wild card granted by the tournament committee. In a rare rain-delayed Monday match, he became the first wild card ever to win a Grand Slam, defeating Patrick Rafter 6-3, 3-6, 6-3, 2-6, 9-7. Ivanisevic would likely be the most surprising champion ever if not for this being his fourth final. He had made three previous finals, in 1992, 1994, and 1998, only to lose. Goran had gained a reputation for suffering mental meltdowns of varying magnitudes. He held himself together well against Rafter, though, and his huge serve, the weapon that has made Wimbledon his best venue, came through when he needed it. Ivanisevic served 27 aces against Rafter, and a great many more service winners. He also broke his own Wimbledon record of 206 aces for the tournament, getting 213. Goran's serving games generally went much more easily than Rafter's. Rafter's favorite serve, a twist (kick) serve that jumps up on the opponent, often gave the 6'4" Ivanisevic a ball at just the height he likes it. Ivanisevic returned well against the serve-and-volley attack Rafter attempted on almost every first and second serve throughout the match. Patrick's best serve against Goran was the jammer, where he would make the ball curve into Goran, giving that tall body a long way to go to get out of the way. Rafter's first serve percentage was below par, but what he needed most was a wide, sliding slice serve to make the left-handed Goran reach low on his two-handed backhand side. With a better slice serve, Rafter would almost certainly have won this match.

Extractions: ZAGREB (AFP) - Goran Ivanisevic was named on Thursday in Croatia's team to play doubles against the United States in the Davis Cup first-round tie here and then voiced hope he would be fit enough to actually appear on court. "Now I am in the squad, at least on paper, but I hope that I will be on the court too in the doubles," Ivanisevic told journalists. He is due to play doubles on Saturday with Ivan Ljubicic against Mardy Fish and James Blake, providing his troublesome elbow allows him to take to the court. "My elbow hurts me, that's the fact. However, the question is whether I can bear the pain or not," said Ivanisevic. "So far I managed to cope with it and I hope that it will remain so until Saturday." If the 31-year-old 2001 Wimbledon champion plays on Saturday it will be the first time since he retired from the ATP tournament in Heilbronn, Germany two weeks ago. That was his first appearance after being sidelined for 10 months with a shoulder injury but he felt pain in his arm and elbow. Meanwhile, the US captain Pat McEnroe, whose team have been dealt a heavy blow with the withdrawal through injury of their top player Andy Roddick, decided to name Fish for the second slot alongside Blake.

Thomas Muster "Wennst so schlecht spielst, ist das wohl ganz normal." Nicola Pilic "Vielleicht will Boris ja auch noch Kanzler werden. Warum nicht?" Goran Ivanisevic "Das ganze Land wäre für den Rest des Jahres betrunken, ich und die Mannschaft eingeschlossen. Ich stelle meinen Schläger ins Klosett und komme erst im nächsten Jahr wieder." Markus Schur "Wir können nicht so verwegen sein und sagen: Wir hauen die weg." und "Es ist für alle eine große Chance. Sie haben nichts zu verlieren. In der öffentlichen Meinung existiert hinter Graf und Huber doch sowieso kein Damen-Tennis mehr." Herwig Straka "Es hängt von Toms Erfolgen ab. Sollte es bei ihm nicht so laufen wie geplant, dann wäre es unter Umständen möglich, da sein Auftritt nicht so teuer wäre."
