Why did Ljubicic leave Raonic ?

This is probably Fed's last year or perhaps one more year.

If I were a betting man, I would put more money on Raonic than Fed to win more majors in the future.

Raonic may not win anything for a year or so, but after that it is a given that he will have plenty of chances for adding majors. Fed can perhaps, just perhaps, win a major. More losses are what is forthcoming. Obviously it would be tough to replicate 2014-2015 under Edberg.

I am still puzzled why Ljubicic would leave Raonic after being with him for 2.5 years and coach Fed ? After all, Ljubicic /Raonic /Piatti and the whole group were very close.

Ivan is really close with Federer also, they've known each other on tour for at least 15 years, they where on the players council together, they respect each other.

I imagine Ivan spending the next 10 years in coaching. Seems like a bad career move to me. He can get another high profile gig after Fed, but why jump ship at an inopportune time ?

Fed pays more and Ivan will get more publicity. Imagine the kind of resumé he will have after working with a global superstar like Fed.

Raonic on the other hand was broke, they guy didn't win anything of note the last couple of years.

I can imagine Fed paying Ivan 5X that of Raonic . May be Ivan thought it was the way to make some quick money.

Still wondering the choice of Ljubicic. He must be knowing that Fed is not a spring chicken and injuries are around the corner.

Why did he rock the boat with Raonic ?

I think Raonic losing twice to Kyrgios doesn't augur well too.

Lol he was fired easy as that.
Coaches in pro tennis are just like companions, little pets in online games that run by your side.They can be practical
but can be replaced just as fast.

It's hard to sit and watch a Milos match. I've tried it. No shame Lubby can't do it.

Watching Fed is as good as the sport gets.

Ivan wasnt supportive of milos and danielle knudson-:)

Chasing women makes you weak in the knees and he knew that. Most top players usually have women from their younger days or tennis ties.
