Tennis fans around the world tune in to watch their favorite players compete at the highest level. While the game has evolved over the years, the way it is presented on television has not always kept up with the times. Ivan Ljubicic, the former coach of Roger Federer, recently tweeted his frustration with the state of the tennis broadcast. In 2016, Ljubicic was hired as Federer’s coach and the two worked together until the Swiss Maestro’s retirement. Federer and Ljubicic have a great relationship, both on and off the court.
Ljubicic has helped Federer refine his game and stay mentally focused during matches. In his tweet, he criticized the use of slow-motion replays and the constant zooming in and out. The Croatian coach claimed that it made it difficult to see what was happening on the court.

The current state of tennis broadcast has often been criticized for its poor quality and lack of innovation. The tennis industry has been slow to adopt new technology, such as 360-degree cameras and augmented reality graphics. The lack of innovation in tennis broadcasts has resulted in a decline in viewership and a loss of interest among younger audiences.
Federer and his legacy with Ljubicic inspire fans and players alike
Federer and Ljubicic were once tennis rivals, with the latter being only two years older than Federer. Although Ljubicic and Federer have faced each other on the court multiple times, Federer leads the head-to-head record. However, Ljubicic has proven to be an instrumental figure as Federer’s coach. In 2016, Federer’s injuries deteriorated, leading him to miss the second half of the season. Many considered this to be the end of Federer’s tennis career. Within a few weeks, Ljubicic joined the Swiss GOAT, and the wins kept on pouring.
