Stefanos Tsitsipas Ends Coaching Partnership with Father Apostolos

Greek tennis player Stefanos Tsitsipas has ended his coaching partnership with his father Apostolos. The decision follows his defeat by Kei Nishikori in the Canadian Open. Tsitsipas emphasized that Apostolos will still travel and support him, but only in a non-coaching role.

Greek tennis star Stefanos Tsitsipas has officially ended his coaching relationship with his father Apostolos, the former world number three announced on Friday.

The 25-year-old, currently ranked 11th, criticized his father’s coaching style after a 6-4 6-4 loss to Kei Nishikori in the second round of the Canadian Open. Despite the change, Apostolos will continue to support Tsitsipas off the field.

Tsitsipas expressed a preference for maintaining a father-son relationship with Apostolos rather than a professional one, but has yet to decide on a new coach. He recently reached the quarter-finals of the Paris 2024 Olympics.
