Canadian Milos Raonic has hired former Croatian star Ivan Ljubicic as his
coach, a month after he split with Galo Blanco.
"Being coached by Ivan will really offer a new dimension to my game," Raonic
said in a statement Friday. "He brings such a vast knowledge of the game and
his recent experience on tour is a major plus for my development."
Ljubicic retired in 2012 with a career-high ATP World Tour ranking of No. 3.
He turned pro in 1998 and captured 10 titles over 14 years, including an ATP
Masters 1000 title at Indiana Wells in 2010, defeating Novak Djokovic, Rafael
Nadal and Andy Roddick en route.
Raonic, from Thornhill, Ont., said he and Ljubicic had similar aggressive
styles of play, "so he can definitely understand the mentality I have on
court and areas where I can improve."
Ljubicic won a bronze medal in men's doubles at the 2004 Summer Olympic Games
in Athens with Mario Ancic. He was also part of the Davis Cup champion
Croatian team in 2005, holding the record of 11 "live rubbers" won in that
season.
"Working with Milos will be a great challenge," Ljubicic said. "He already
has great weapons and I am looking forward to helping him develop his game
even further this season. Since I retired I have never been too far from the
tour and I think that my familiarity with the tour can be of help to Milos."
剛剛在場邊看台上發現去年退休的柳比身影
原來今年六月柳比成為加拿大重砲Raonic的新任教練
同樣是侵略性極高的球員，柳比或許能為Raonic帶來許多實戰經驗和策略運用
不過對於Raonic的弱點反拍可能就沒有什麼幫助了XDD
