Stefanos Tsitsipas has doubled down on his two main aims as a player this season on court are to win a Grand Slam as well as an Olympic medal of some sort with preferred being to win one alongside his brother Petros Tsitsipas.
Tsitsipas will likely get multiple opportunities to seal a medal with singles, doubles and mixed doubles alongside Maria Sakkari likely for the 25-year-old Greek and he called winning one alongside his brother is one of the dreams of his life.
"My goal this year is to win a Grand Slam and an Olympic medal. It means a lot to me. Competing alongside Petros, my brother, in the Olympic Games in Paris is one of the dreams of my life," said Tsitsipas as per ERT.
But as well as the importance of that, he also sees his father Apostolos who has received lots of criticism in the past as vital to his make-up as a player with the family partnership back working together after they split at a time during 2023.
“My father and I have always had tennis as an element in common, it was something of ours, that we have always shared. When he is not with me, I feel that a part of my identity as a player is lost,” the 25-year-old continued.
“On different occasions in the past, he was with me and I felt like he was half the player. Sometimes I don’t speak too well of him, but he’s the only person who understands me, and that’s part of the job. The good thing is that we can separate the father aspect from the facet as a coach.”
