Stefanos Tsitsipas has officially announced the termination of his coaching arrangement with father Apostolos having earlier criticised his tactics in a tense match and defeat against Kei Nishikori at the ATP Montreal on Thursday, August 8.
Declaring his decision on X, Tsitsipas said “It is with a heavy heart that I inform you that my cooperation with my father as a coach has come to an end… I prefer to keep my father in his role as a father, and only as a father.”
Tsitsipas said Apostolos would continue to travel with him, support him and provide off-court assistance.
The Greek tennis player reached the quarter-finals of the Paris Olympics, losing to eventual gold medallist Novak Djokovic.
