If Goran Ivanisevic wins Wimbledon then not only will people be celebrating on the streets of Croatia but also on the streets of Britain.

Ivanisevic's quarter-final win over Marat Safin was greeted with a 2001 trademark stripping off of shirt - much to the delight of the adoring Centre Court crowd.

"I love the feeling of being on the Centre Court, and I think the people in this country love what I do when I play. I'll be asking for a British passport soon," he said.

"Maybe I should make a tattoo 'Tacchini' if they pay me enough."

'Play for yourself'

The Croatian has been a Wimbledon finalist three times, and believes that this may be his best chance to finally lift the men's crown, because he is "playing for himself"

"When I began my career, my sister was very sick. I played for her to raise some money," he said.
