A couple of weeks ago, the whole world was focusing on the increasingly visible issue between Stefanos Tsitsipas and his father, who had a confrontation during the Greek's match in Toronto. The player's decision to dismiss his father as coach was almost immediate, a move that many had been demanding due to the moments on the court. Days after testing in different conditions, Stefanos Tsitsipas comments on how he handles changes and how he is able to find his best level on the court, something he will try to achieve in this US Open 2024.

Farewell to his father as coach

"I'm not very sure about change in most occasions when I have to make changes in my team. Changes are very difficult to face," confessed Stefanos in an interview with SuperTennis. "When I make them, they usually come from my inner instinct, and most of them are quite accurate. The last few years have been tough; I was holding back emotions and couldn't express them, but I think the time to make that change in my team has come. I also want to develop my relationship with my father, for it to improve off the tennis courts," explained the Greek.

"The expectations and pressure of the circuit in recent years have separated us. I think it's normal because in the end, I'm in business with my father. That can create more distance than unity in many parent-child relationships. So far, it's going well; I'm happy that my father is my father. I have our Davis Cup captain to help me in the coming weeks as a coach. I know him very well, hoping he brings out the best in my tennis, and we grow together."

How does he find his best level on the court?

"It happens in parts. I would say it's a combination of proper training and adequate preparation, along with a good mood when starting the match. Personally, I have been able to feel it a few times on the court, and the worst part is when you can't get into that phase in a match. The more I practice a shot, the better I perform in competition."
