Janko Tipsarević

Janko Tipsarević is a Serbian tennis coach and former player who reached a career-high ranking of World No. 8 and was a key contributor to Serbia's historic 2010 Davis Cup title.

Janko Tipsarević won the 2001 Australian Open boys' singles title as the world's top-ranked junior, and more than a decade later delivered his biggest contribution to Serbian tennis by winning the decisive fifth rubber that sent Serbia to the 2010 Davis Cup final — which they went on to win. He won the boys' singles title at the 2001 Australian Open, becoming the world's top-ranked junior, before turning professional and playing for the Yugoslav Davis Cup team that same year. Tipsarević broke into the ATP top 10 relatively late in his career, reaching four singles finals between 2009 and 2011 before winning his first title at the 2011 Malaysian Open, followed weeks later by an all-Serbian final win over compatriot Viktor Troicki at the Kremlin Cup. Drafted into that year's ATP Finals as an alternate for the injured Andy Murray, he defeated Novak Djokovic for the first time in his career, and finished 2011 ranked World No. 9, reaching a career-high of World No. 8 the following April. Tipsarević was instrumental in Serbia's landmark 2010 Davis Cup triumph, winning the decisive fifth rubber against the Czech Republic to send the team to the final, where Serbia beat France. He reached the fourth round of all four Grand Slams and the US Open quarterfinals in both 2011 and 2012, and helped Serbia reach a second Davis Cup final in 2013. He retired in 2019 after announcing his intention following that year's Davis Cup Finals, and founded the Tipsarević Tennis Academy in Belgrade in 2013.
