Goran wasn’t even at RG! So he wasn’t there to pump up Novak yet he blurts out that nice little bulletin board nugget to make sure Rafa was fully motivated and locked in for the final. I thought coaches were supposed to prevent players from providing bulletin board material not the other way around. Nice job Goran - way to go!

I think Vajda is his coach, not Goran. Vajda is no dummy.
Prediction would be sth like Novak will win. Saying that Nadal has no chance is
a. stupid from tennis knowledge point of view
b. arrogant
c. not too classy to say politely

Goran's disrespect probably lit a fire in Nadal.
Djokovic needs to fire Goran immediately.

Exactly!Very interesting that before the match the DjokeFam was overwhelmingly approving of Goran's words and now suddenly they all want him to shut up.

He only played badly in the semis! Yet still won in straights.
The Sinner match should have shown you and your cousins that Nadal was certainly playing well enough to beat Noles.

Why are you linking to a thread where there are barely any Djoke fans, despite of being 4 pages long, and from what I see they were more concerned about Tsitsipas and injuries at the time and less than the threat from Nadal. Even Your Majesty just said that "lol of course he has a chance", but actually didn't go on to state what an overwhelming favourite Nadal is.

I agree with Ivanisevic that it's a different ball game in these conditions but the part about "no chance" for Nadal is nonsense. Even PCB had a chance. Tsitsipas will have a big chance too. Even if Novak gets to final, in what physical shape will he be? Too many variables to be cocksure about the outcome of the tournament.

His over confidence certainly influenced Djoko's mental which partially leads to the defeat.

You said that Novak's fans were overwhelmingly approving of Ivanisevic's no-chance statement. I linked you the original thread about Goran's words and except the thread starter (fake fan of Novak), no one is supporting it. Not enough Novak fanst in the thread? Well, how so if they were overwhelmingly supporting it? So you lied. Stop trying to wiggle out of it.

Exclusive - Ivanisevic: “The world has not stopped moving” after Djokovic’s defeat
Goran Ivanisevic admits it had been “too ambitious” of him to say that Nadal did not stand a chance against Djokovic in Paris.www.tennismajors.com
Goran Ivanisevic is NOW fired. Novak currently looking hard for a new coach ..... perhaps Becker will comeback if Novak begs him enough ??

lol that gif reminds of when Serena hit her cramped calf with her racquet over & overHe didn’t mention any injury or take a single MTO though. He just sleepwalked through the draw and upped his level when he needed to. Joker on the other hand:

People moaning and berating Ivanisevic because he has the balls to avoid sitting on the fence.
The guy's a legend, one of the true alphas of ATP, of which there have not been many.
Moya also a legend. Both amazing players and personalities.

Before all this social media nonsense, Goran would have made this comment to some journalist and it would have, at best, featured in a couple of articles and maybe in some book about the season or Djokovic. Maybe the commentator might have mentioned it.
Now it's all over the tv, social media and internet.
It was just his opinion, nothing more. Cut him some slack.

Keep eating your site Goran, honestly we should just discard this guy, being an ex player and coach it's disrespectful to talk in such a way about another sportsman. Even now he defends himself.

Djokovic needs to fire Goran immediately.
