Tennis ace Goran Ivanisevic excited to attend West Brom game

Tennis ace Goran Ivanisevic will be at West Bromwich Albion tomorrow for their clash with Manchester City.

David Law, media manager for the Champions Tour and a Baggie, is the man responsible for getting Ivanisevic interested.

"David's a crazy West Brom fan, a Baggies freak, and he was telling me all about them. Every time I saw him he was in a bad mood, very jumpy, edgy, stressed about the results," Ivanisevic told the Daily Express.

"Until eight years ago I knew nothing of West Bromwich Albion. It was 2005 when they were bottom of the Premier League and David was getting on my nerves. I started looking out for West Brom's results and I was hooked.

"I'd be in my room in a hotel and I'd find myself looking for Albion's score on Teletext. It was exciting."
