Stefanos Tsitsipas Clarifies His Father’s New Role Within His Team
Madrid Open Headlines
Stefanos Tsitsipas made headlines at the Madrid Open.
That momentum came after his tough win against Jan-Lennard Struff.
Stefanos also revealed that his father, Apostolos Tsitsipas, rejoined his support team.
Apostolos Tsitsipas Returns to the Team
Apostolos first returned during the Monte-Carlo Masters.
Their first professional reunion happened after they parted ways in August 2024.
Since then, he has been spotted supporting Stefanos in Barcelona and now in Madrid.
His role will focus on European tournaments.
He is also coaching other players in the region.
A New Dynamic Between Father and Son
Their dynamic has evolved since they reunited.
Apostolos now plays a filtered role.
He said: “If he sees something in my game, he’ll share it with my coach, Kerei Abakar, who then passes it on to me.”
This process feels more controlled now, compared to past times when things got out of hand.
Apostolos Launches a New Coaching Initiative
In early 2025, Apostolos launched International Tennis Coaching.
It focuses on mentoring young players and promoting tennis in Greece.
Two Challenger tournaments at Lyttos Beach marked its debut.
Key Moments in the Madrid Victory
Tsitsipas called the win over Struff very important.
According to him: “Finding the right angles at the end was key to the win.”
Tsitsipas lauded his serve as the best part of his game.
‘My serve was probably the best part of my game today,’ he noted.
Injury Update: Back Issue Resolved
Fans had worried after he withdrew from a match in Barcelona.
An update confirmed his back felt great during the Madrid match.
Looking Ahead to the Musetti Rematch
Next up is a clash with Lorenzo Musetti in round three.
Musetti beat him in Monte-Carlo.
In his view, it will be a big match.
Looking ahead, he plans to serve better this time and apply more pressure.
