World No.5 Stefanos Tsitsipas hasn’t had a great season in 2021 so far. Even though he reached the semis of the Australian Open and Rotterdam Open 2021, he failed to finish on the winning side. Recently, he lost to Hubert Hurkacz in the quarters of the Miami Open 2021 despite winning the first set.
In a recent interview, Stefanos Tsitsipas was asked if he wanted to add a new member to his coaching staff. Interestingly, the Greek player answered that he would love to have tennis legend, Gustavo Kuerten, in his team.
