During their careers, tennis players are the ones who, with their performance, make it to the limelight. However, in a handful of cases, it is also their coach who gathers an equal amount themselves. A clear example of it is Stefanos Tsitsipas. Ever since his debut in 2016, he has been making headlines for his impressive performance. However, along with him, it is also his father and coach, Apostolos Tsitsipas, who often catches the public eye.

However, his father turned coach, Apostolos, is often called out for disturbing the game with his on-court coaching. Considering Apostolos’ actions, a new coach for Tsitsipas has for a long time been the talk of the town. Making an addition to the much-talked-about subject is none other than Venus Williams. The former World No.1 recently gave a hilarious reaction when asked if she would coach the Greek player in the coming future.
