Stefanos Tsitsipas will face Jordan Thompson in the Wimbledon second round. The Greek sensation seems to have hired tennis legend Mark Philippoussis as his coach at the least for the Championships.
Mark appeared in Stefanos Tsitsipas’s player’s box in the first round. Here the world number 5 was caught training with Philippoussis under the supervision of his father.

Apparently, they were trying to improve Stefanos’ slice which is a shot that is extremely useful on grass if well executed.
