Stefanos Tsitsipas’s father and coach, Apostolos, is well known for being extremely chatty during his son’s matches. Many players are used to complaining about the constant noise coming from Stefanos’s father during Tsitsipas’s matches.
It seems as if Apostolos had clear instructions during the matches of Maria Sakkari at the United Cup not to talk too much. Apostolos was not coaching or giving his advice to Maria during her matches, which is uncharacteristic of him. There was a funny moment when Maria was serving with Stefanos asking his father not to talk. Here is the video.
