COACHING. Tsitsipas’ father slammed by tennis legend. Jannik Sinner next

7-slams champion explains why Stefanos's father Apostolos needs to stop coaching.

Stefanos Tsitsipas With His Father Apostolos

Stefanos Tsitsipas and Jannik Sinner will face off in a mouth-watering quarterfinal on Wednesday at the Australian Open in Melbourne. The Greek sensation will have a hard time facing the Italian who has been playing excellent tennis. Unfortunately, Stefanos may also squander some energy trying to keep at bay his father Apostolos, whose coaching has been creating many problems for Tsitsipas in his matches. The Greek received a series of warnings in his last matches after receiving tactical advice from his dad.

Mats Wilander vs. Tsitsipas’s father

When talking on Eurosport, tennis legend and 7-slam champion Mats Wilander wasn’t impressed by Stefanos’ father coaching during his match against Taylor Fritz.

Mats commented:

“At some point, his father needs to get out of there. Let Stefanos figure things out himself. You can have a proper go through the match beforehand and afterward, but Stefanos can solve the problems.

The situation [warning] happens and then in the fifth set Tsitsipas wins it 6-4. He plays a brilliant set, maybe the best set in the whole match.”
