Last August, the Stefanos Tsitsipas He made a great decision on his professional career, as after a life of cooperation with his father, Apostlethrew end titles on the relationship between the two sides of a player.
Talking to Caroline Garcia and Borcha Duran’s podcast, ‘Tennis Insider Club’the Greek tennis player first mentioned in detail in that “divorce”stressing, among other things, that this decision took her with the good of his father’s goodwhile also in the Father-son relationship, who wants to have with the Apostle, a relationship that had been differentiated all this time, which was his coach.
In detail what he said:
“I don’t think I would do it without my father, he was there for me every day, as a father and as a coach, he gave me advice and helped me every day. He was there from the beginning. We had intense moments, but that is normal, it couldn’t have been otherwise. He was always there for me and he is a very emotional man, he always showed me the way, how I should do it. He is a man with honor and when he did wrong he admitted it and he came and told me.
I decided to stop our cooperation because I saw that many things started to tire himdid not have the same levels of energy. Maybe he made more often mistakes than usual. And I was thinking that maybe I needed years before I got my own way, but it was difficult for me to disconnect from my father who had done so much for me. In the end, it was the one who brought all these beautiful things to my life and to remove him would be something that would hurt him.
Since September I decided to stop our cooperation, we are in touch, we talk and need him for my father, because I think with our relationship in tennis Things were confused and I lost this value of the father I would like to have in my personal life.
I had a more transactional feeling when I was with my father, I had more linked to tennis in my mind. This has upset me in recent yearsbecause I always needed my father by my side, but as I remember him in my twelve years.
It hurts me to see him around me stressed, to see him suffer. And that is one reason I let him go, because with his personality he would never admit that he suffered or did not feel well. And if he doesn’t, I have to do it for him. At the end of the day, it’s something I did for his own good and to protect him.
I believe that still to this day he is wounded, but I do not blame him, I understand him. I understand that it takes time and so I tried to go with the soft. We are talking, but we are not talking every day, this may have shown that I am desperate and I need him back. I try to do it in a healthy way and I want him to be next to Stefanos, not to the player Stefanos“
