Was Tsitsipas’ mother calming down his dad Apostolos during Stefanos’ match vs. Medvedev?

Stefanos Tsitsipas won a thrilling match against Daniil Medvedev on Wednesday in Turin at the ATP Finals. Both players had to win that contest in order to have a shot at qualifying for the final 4 of the season’s finale.

Stefanos won 6-3 6-7(11) 7-6(1) but there were many nail-beating moments during the match and it is well known that Stefano Tsitsipas’s father and coach Apostolos is not very calm during crunch times. Stefanos’ mother, Julia, used to be also a professional tennis player, and she can read the game pretty well. Julia is a calming presence during her son’s matches and she was caught several times asking her husband to calm down. That happened again yesterday.

This is what has happened in the past.
