Goran Ivanišević, the legendary Croatian tennis player and coach, has initiated a new partnership with the young French tennis player Arthur Fils. Seen on the team during the ATP 500 tournament in Doha, Fils achieved victories in the first two rounds, highlighting the positive impact Ivanišević's experience brings to his career. After the matches, Fils praised Ivanišević, expressing that having the former Grand Slam winner on his coaching team is incredibly beneficial for his development as a player.

Fils, who reached a career-high of 14th on the ATP rankings last season, faced a drop to 40th due to injuries. However, upon returning to the court with promising performances in Doha, his goal is to reestablish himself among the top players. The collaboration with Ivanišević is seen as a significant step towards achieving this objective, with Fils noting his happiness about the long-term journey they will undertake together.

Ivanišević's coaching career has included working with several high-caliber players, including Novak Djokovic. His expertise is expected to be invaluable as Fils seeks to regain form and confidence after his injury setback. This partnership could be pivotal not only for Fils's career but also may reaffirm Ivanišević’s role as an influential coach in the tennis world as he nurtures new talent.
