Goran has a terrific service, and he likes to pound aces past his opponents. His serve is terrifying, especially if he is playing well. Sometimes he attempts to hit second serve aces as well. He has the record of serving the most aces per year, over 1500 aces in 1996. The rest of his game is also pretty good, as he has a powerful forehand, backhand and volleys. Potentially he has the best game, however he mentally does not focus throughout the matches.
Ivanisevic reached the final of Wimbledon defeating Medvedev, Martin and Krajicek along the way. He played very well in the final, pushing Sampras to 5 sets. This result put his ranking back it the top twenty. Ivanisevic has not had a lot of great wins this year. He reached the semi finals of the German Open.
