WIMBLEDON runner-up Goran Ivanisevic slammed 23 aces to beat Mark Woodforde yesterday, and then traded insults with the Australian veteran. The Croatian suggested the 32-year-old doubles star give up on singles. "The way his game is, it's very tough to watch. It's time for him to retire from singles," Ivanisevic said. "He looks very poor at the court. Too old. Can't move. With that (lousy) backhand, you can't beat anybody."

Woodforde suggested Ivanisevic was a one-trick player with nothing beyond his blazing serve. "Goran has his serve and not much else. Ivanisevic said Woodforde hit him with a shot at one point and did not apologize. "He hates me," Ivanisevic said. "But then I hit an ace after that and that kills him. I see on his face. It's a poor thing."
