“I started from far away, a little tiny village located in the northern district of Karditsa called Proastio. I came from a lower-class family working in the agriculture business. A family that was trying to raise and feed four children, including me. I wasn’t given much as a child. Playing tennis in the garden of our home with my brother was a daily habit,” wrote Tsitsipas on Instagram.

Tsitsipas revealed that Bjorn Borg and John McEnroe were the idols while his father was growing up. His dream always was to study, back then it was the best way to approach knowledge and get deep into it. Education was going to determine his future, he was always aware of it. However, he found himself in the sports science university a few years later.

“Eventually, I started competing in local tournaments and competitive matches. It was not long after that when I met my wife Julia in a professional WTA tournament held in Athens, Greece. And that’s how my involvement and involvement with the sport literally “took-off”.

Stefanos revealed that his father’s dream was to find perfection. Tennis gives you unlimited feedback to achieve the best qualities of yourself, it sort of acts as psychotherapy. Apostolos is living and fulfilling a dream, a dream of every tennis coach.

“I am at the highest level of professional tennis, coaching my kids, and that makes it the most special journey of them all. I don’t know what the future beholds and, I don’t want to know. Because living in the present is all that matters. I am so grateful to where my life has brought me. Every day I wake up I am on a mission to provide for society, my beloved ones, and the sport of tennis,” he concluded.
