New article from The Telegraph, 02 December 2005 -
Whether Goran Ivanisevic swings a racket or not, this weekend is likely to be remembered as his Davis Cup final should Croatia win the sport's most prestigious team competition.

New article from The Telegraph, 20 October 2005 -

Four years on and Goran Ivanisevic is the picture of contentment. As a multi-millionaire, a hero in his homeland and now a doting father, it is hardly surprising. But the real reason that he looks so at-one with the world, is that he did it - he finally won Wimbledon...read more

New article -
Ivanisevic is still frequently stopped by compatriots telling him how much he has inspired them, although his status as a national hero is somewhat out of kilter with the relatively humble position he fills these days as assistant to Croatia's Davis Cup captain, Nicky Pilic. Pilic has said that he will stand aside as soon as Ivanisevic wants to take on the captaincy himself, but Ivanisevic is in no rush... read more
