Stefanos Tsitsipas discusses split with father as coach
Summary

Stefanos Tsitsipas detailed his decision to remove his father, Apostolos, from his coaching team, a move made ahead of the 2026 Wimbledon Championships. After briefly parting ways in August 2024, they reunited in July 2025 and worked together for nearly a year. Tsitsipas expressed a desire for more control over his career and has since appointed Patrick Mouratoglou and Thomas Perrin to his coaching staff. The changes have led to a title at the Swiss Open and a fourth-round finish at the US Open. Tsitsipas is currently active at the Japan Open, where he advanced to the second round after qualifying.
