For the changes that – in her opinion – should be made by Stefanos Tsitsipas, in order to play good tennis again spoke on a podcast former tennis player.
The German woman Andrea Petkovic, which retired in 2022 and had reached as high as No. 9 in the world ranking, emphasized that the Greek champion has stagnated in the last year and noted that he either needs to add someone to his technical staff or give a more active role to Mark Philippoussi, who is again in his honor.
“I feel that Tsitsipas needs a change. I don’t know if she is on the coaching staff or if she has to give a bit more of an active role to Mark Philippoussi, who is back in the team
He’s just stagnated over the last year in his game and I know he wants to play good tennis. And he really has one of the best forehands I’ve ever seen.
It’s not just the way he hits the ball and how he can find rhythm with the spin, but also how quickly he gets to the ball even when he has shallow returns, which perhaps only Federer does in the same way.
I really hope he evolves the way he plays. Maybe piece by piece, one step more at a time like Roger used to do so that he has the time to reach the development he needs.” were her words Petkovic.
