What Did Stefanos Tsitsipas Say?

Tsitsipas was in a light-hearted mood while discussing the unfortunate incident. He revealed whether we will see a calmer side of him at the Australian Open:

“Well, now I don’t have anyone to hit (laughs). To all those who view it in a negative way I have to say that this father-son relationship is very difficult and I would like to see them play such a high level of tennis and work with their father to be business partners.”

Stefanos Tsitsipas was clear about the fact that the dynamic of having his own father as his coach is not an easy deal.

“It’s not very easy and there are always tensions between the two. One created the scene with the racquet. It was the first time I had my father on the bench and, while he is a very good coach, he sometimes causes me a lot of stress. For this reason, I was relieved but as I said, I did not want to hit him. It just came out the way it did.”
