ATP > Tsitsipas still finds it difficult to forget his father: “He is obviously one of the people largely responsible for my success so far, but I also need to explore my own limits”

It has already been several months since Stefanos Tsitsipas decided to part ways with his father Apostolos as coach, and the results are still pending for the Greek.

Enough to raise questions about the decision of the former Roland‐Garros finalist, who nevertheless remains convinced of having made the right choice, especially since even his private relationship with his father was gradually deteriorating.

“My father has probably been the heart of my whole life, not just in Tennis, but also in my everyday life. He is obviously one of the people largely responsible for my successes so far, but I also need to explore my own boundaries, have my own story and embark on a different journey to continue to learn. It was very difficult for both of us to have a natural father-son relationship during all these years of championships. This is also one of the main reasons why I decided to part ways with him as a coach. Ultimately, this can also be understood as a way to save our relationship. »
