Stefanos Tsitsipas lost to Daniil Medvedev at the Rome Open and once again he clashed with both of his parents during the match, even kicking out his mother out of his box.
Tsitsipas and his parents shared a strong bond however many have argued that the parents are too involved. His mother is a former player while his father has been involved with tennis for a long time and their influence on him when it comes to tennis is pretty big. His father is always there for each of his matches and his mother has been travelling with them most of the time while in Europe as well.
It hasn't been going too well because both parents keep giving him input during the match and at times it seems like too much. More than once, Tsitsipas himself grew frustrated with it clashing with his parents openly during a match.
It happened in match the against Medvedev as well. He first clashed with his father and then his mother whom he kicked out of his box because her instructions in Russian didn't really help because Medvedev is a native Russian speaker. Eventually, his mother did leave his box where she stayed until the end of the match.
