Stefanos Tsitsipas won a fantastic match in Cincinnati against John Isner on Friday. There was a curious and funny episode before the encounter that was caught on camera. Stefanos’ father and coach Apostolos was mentoring his son alongside Mark Philippoussis. Apostolos looked quite passionate about his dissertation, while Stefanos was paying no attention at all to what his father was saying as he was 100% focused on the match.
haters: stefanos only wins matches because he gets coached!
