A Couple Weeks And Gone! Tsitsipas Splits With Coach Ivanisevic After Brief Partnership
Last Updated: Stefanos Tsitsipas ended his coaching partnership with Goran Ivanisevic due to struggles with form and fitness. Tsitsipas aims to reset for Toronto. Stefanos Tsitsipas has ended his coaching partnership with Goran Ivanisevic, just weeks after the two joined forces in an attempt to revive the Greek star's struggling form. 'Working with Goran Ivanisevic was brief but an intense experience and a truly valuable chapter in my journey," Tsitsipas wrote in a statement posted to Instagram. 'I'm thankful for the time, effort and energy he dedicated to me and my team." A Short-Lived Coaching Experiment Tsitsipas, once ranked as high as world No. 3 and a two-time Grand Slam finalist, began working with the 2001 Wimbledon champion following his early exit at the French Open in late May. The decision came as part of a broader effort to arrest a concerning dip in form that saw him fall out of the top 20 in June. Despite the high-profile hire, the partnership yielded little success. Tsitsipas played under Ivanisevic's guidance at the ATP event in Halle and at Wimbledon, where he was forced to retire from his opening-round match due to a back injury, trailing by two sets against French qualifier Valentin Royer. 'As we are now following our separate ways, I have only respect for Goran—not just for what he's achieved in tennis, but also for who he is as a person," Tsitsipas added. 'I wish him nothing but the very best moving forward." Prior to their split, Ivanisevic offered a scathing assessment of Tsitsipas' professionalism, particularly in regard to his preparation and physical condition. Speaking to Serbian broadcaster Sport Klub, the Croatian coach did not mince words. 'I've talked to him a lot of times. If he solves some things outside of tennis, then he has a chance and he'll return to where he belongs, because he's too good a player to be out of the top 10," Ivanisevic said. 'But he wants to, and he doesn't do anything. All 'I want, I want,' but I don't see that progress… I was shocked. I have never seen a more unprepared player in my life. With this knee, I am three times more fit than him. This is really bad." Struggles at the Majors Continue The split underscores a period of uncertainty for Tsitsipas, who has reached only one Grand Slam quarterfinal in his last nine appearances—a stark contrast to the consistency he displayed earlier in his career. Now ranked outside the top 20, the 26-year-old will look to reset as he prepares for his next scheduled appearance in Toronto, where main-draw action begins on Sunday. view comments First Published: July 24, 2025, 18:18 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

NFL analyst explains 'real reason' Patrick Mahomes' explosive deep passes aren't the same anymore
Patrick Mahomes' explosive passing plays have slowed down, says analyst. Patrick Mahomes' explosive passing plays have slowed down, says analyst. Patrick Mahomes' explosive passing plays have slowed down, says analyst. Patrick Mahomes' explosive passing plays have slowed down, says analyst. Patrick Mahomes' explosive passing plays have slowed down, says analyst. 1 2 The Kansas City Chiefs have remained a model of consistency in the NFL , but their offense no longer packs the same explosive punch it once did. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes , once feared for his deep-ball prowess and highlight-reel throws, has seen a noticeable decline in his long-range passing. Even with two Super Bowl titles in the last three years and a 15-win regular season just behind them, it's clear the offensive dynamic has changed a fair bit. The Kansas City Chiefs' offensive style is changing — and Patrick Mahomes' deep-pass magic is fading Rewind to 2022 and the Chiefs were electric. Patrick Mahomes threw for over 5,000 yards and 41 touchdowns en route to the coveted MVP title. Kansas City's offense set the tone every game, torching defenses with explosive plays. But those fireworks have long fizzled. In 2023 and 2024, Kansas City's attack turned far more conservative, while the defense stepped up to carry more of the load. Wins are still coming, but they are often gritty, low-scoring battles – a stark contrast to the big-play spectacles fans were once used to. Breaking down what's behind the drop in Mahomes' long throws downfield Patrick Mahomes made his name slinging it deep, often finding targets 20 or more yards downfield with precision. Between 2018 and 2022, he averaged 4.3 deep pass attempts per game, piling up 45 touchdowns to just 12 interceptions. His passer rating on those throws? A stunning 112.3. But things took a turn. In the past two seasons (2023-2024), those attempts dropped to just three per game. The production dropped off a cliff – only four touchdowns, eight interceptions and a steep decline in passer rating to just 47.7. NFL Analyst says there were warning signs in 2022 NFL analyst Nick Wright took a closer look at this regression during an interview – and believes the warning signs were already visible during Mahomes' second MVP run. 'He kind of stopped throwing deep in 2022, the year he won league MVP, because there was so much run-after-catch stuff. The 2023 it seems like gets chalked up to drops, and nobody cared anyway because they won the Super Bowl. Last year, for me, was the perfect storm of sucking in the deep passing game. ' Mahomes: "Got to be better at throwing down the field," is NFC Eagles to lose? | FIRST THINGS FIRST So what does all of this mean moving forward? The Kansas Chiefs are still very much a contender, with Patrick Mahomes leading the way and a stout defense backing him up. But the days of him launching 60-yard bombs every week may be behind us – at least for now. FAQs Q: Why has Patrick Mahomes stopped throwing deep as often? A: Several factors are at play, including offensive scheme changes and a greater reliance on short passes and yards after the catch. Q: Is Mahomes still playing at an MVP level? A: While he remains elite, his deep passing stats have significantly declined compared to his earlier MVP seasons. Q: Are the Chiefs still a top NFL team despite this change? A: Yes -- they have won a Super Bowl and 15 regular-season games recently, showing they can adapt and win in different ways.

NFL writer Jarrett Bailey gets tattoo after losing bet to Peter Schrager
NFL writer Jarrett Bailey has officially etched his words in ink and on his skin after losing a high-stakes bet to ESPN analyst Peter Schrager. The SB Nation and Sporting News contributor now sports a tattoo of the contraction 'GMFB' (Good Morning Football) on his left thigh, a permanent reminder of a wager gone sideways after the Denver Broncos defied expectations and clinched a playoff spot during the 2024 season. The bet that wouldn't die Back in September 2024, Bailey responded to Schrager's bold playoff prediction with a mocking post on X, writing, 'If the Broncos make the playoffs, I'll get GMFB tattooed on my body.' At the time, Denver was widely considered a longshot, still recovering from a disastrous 2023 season. But the Broncos surged late in the year to finish 10-7, earning a postseason berth and sealing Bailey's fate. Although Schrager offered Bailey a pardon when the bet came due in December, the writer ultimately chose to honor the original terms. Tagging the former GMFB host, Bailey posted saying 'A bet's a bet' this week alongside a photo of the fresh ink, signing 'Cheers, Broncos fans.' No regrets, just ink Bailey admitted he initially tried to find a way out, considering a giveaway or charity donation instead. But fan feedback convinced him otherwise. 'They were right,' he said. 'It's 150 dollars I'll never get back, but also a fun reminder that I'm lucky to talk about football for a living and a fun story I'll have for the rest of my life.' With the 'GMFB' tattoo now inked for life, Bailey joins a rare club of sports figures who've turned online bravado into lasting skin art.
