Goran Ivanisevic now considers his Wimbledon collection to be complete.

Ivanisevic won Wimbledon in 2001 and is currently the coach of Novak Djokovic, who won his sixth title at the All England on Sunday.

The Croat joked that means he has nothing left to accomplish at Wimbledon. He said ”I won this tournament as a player, now I won as a coach. I don’t have to come anymore.”

Ivanisevic joined Djokovic’s team shortly before the Serb won the 2019 Wimbledon title and has been working with him since.
