He was a crowd favourite down under when he was playing in the Australian Open, now a decade after playing in his last tournament in Melbourne, legendary Croatian tennis player Goran Ivanišević is still winning the crowds over…
Ivanišević, who was in Melbourne as the coach of Marin Čilić, found time to play an exhibition match in the middle of the year’s first Grand Slam, and he had the crowd in stitches. Forever the showman, Goran and Mansour Bahrami took on Aussie hero Pat Cash and Henri Leconte from France in a ‘legends of the game’ exhibition match. At one moment the big-serving left-hander served one into the crowd, only to challenge the chair umpires call with hawk eye. Watch the clip below.
