His interest in sports began at a young age as a student. He was a basketball and soccer player in school before he became interested in tennis. His father, a local university professor of engineering, discovered Goran's potential and decided to enroll him in a tennis school where his training as a tennis player began. Despite the costly expenses that came with his training, the middle-class family made a lot of sacrifices to support and facilitate his tennis training to the extent of taking him to Zagreb, where he was enrolled in a full-time training school.

 His career began when he was 17 years old in 1988, playing double tournaments before he later focused on singles tennis, not knowing that this would be the peak of his tennis career. Pairing with Rudiger Hass as a rookie, the two tennis players won a tournament. In 1989 he became a qualifier in the Australian Open and played his first Grand Slam Tournament but did not win since Miloslav Mecir knocked him out in the quarterfinals. However, Goran played and won four matches. Little did he know he would become a champion and win the Grand Slam Cup in 1995 after defeating Todd Martin in the finals. In 1994 and 1998, he had a chance to reach the Wimbledon finals but unfortunately was met by the world's champion Pete Sampras who defeated him on both occasions. However, he was still ranked as men's world No. 2 after Pete. Despite his shoulder injuries which made his game low and ranked at No. 125 by 2001, he was awarded a wildcard pass due to his past progressive records to enter the singles draw. He beat some of the world's No. 1 players, including Andy Roddick, Marat Safin, and Carlos Moya' and made it to the semifinals. The title at Wimbledon was the last of his career since he temporarily retired in 2002. Still, after his return, he again officially retired as a tennis player in 2004 but not before investing in some real estate businesses.

By then, Goran had started his affair with the model, Vanja Hlolovic, which was revealed through a scandalous photograph, causing problems in his marriage. Feeling betrayed, Tatjana filed for a divorce that was finalized in 2013 when the couple officially split. He is married to an actress named Nives Canovic, whom he married at a private ceremony in Zagreb.
