Tsitsipas reappoints father after Ivanisevic split

Following their split from Goran Ivanisevic, the former Wimbledon champion, Stefanos Tsitsipas has reappointed Apostolos as his coach.

Less than two months after the pair began to work together, the Greek’s brief relationship with Ivanisevic ended last week.

Novak Djokovic, who won nine of his 24 Grand Slam titles under the direction of Ivanisevic, criticised Tsitsipas and said, “I have never seen such an unprepared player in my life,” following his first-round exit at Wimbledon.

Tsitsipas’ father, who was his full-time coach from a young age, led him to the top of the world, but he has since fallen to number 30 after splitting with him in 2024.

“I’ve reconnected with my father, the person who attracted my initial trust,” after a while of separation.

Sometimes, a person makes the most bold move forward.

Last August, Tsitsipas and his father coached together.

The 26-year-old earlier this week stated that although his father “necessarily made me lose my control,” he regretted how messy their breakup turned out.
