comeback from a serious back injury that had kept him out of action since August last year.<\/p>\n<p>Ivanisevic is one of the most highly-regarded coaches in the sport, having helped tennis legend Novak Djokovic win nine Grand Slam titles between 2019 and 2024.<\/p>\n<p>The Croatian, who won Wimbledon in 2001 and reached world No 2 during a glittering playing career, also coached his compatriot Marin Cilic to his only major title at the 2014 US Open.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/arthur-fils\">Fils<\/a> holds an impressive 23-8 record in 2026, having won the Barcelona Open, reached the final in Doha and the semi-finals at Masters events in Miami and Madrid.<\/p>\n<p>The 22-year-old\u2019s sensational form was halted by a hip injury he suffered in Rome, and he was forced to miss Roland Garros before making his return at Wimbledon.<\/p>\n<p>He achieved a career-high ranking of 14th in February 2025, and he is currently the world No 23.<\/p>\n<h2>More ATP Tour
