Stefanos Tsitsipas is getting ready to play his US Open first round against Andy Murray. The Greek sensation has his father as his main coach. However, he often uses the services of Patrick Mouratoglou and the coaches working at his Academy.
Patrick is well known for being Serena Williams’s main coach. Nevertheless, the American legend had to pull out from the US Open this year following her hamstring injury. Therefore, it seems as Patrick Mouratoglou will follow Stefanos Tsitsipas full-time during the American major.
Here and video of Tsitsipas going to the practice court with his team and Patrick.
