"He will never stop being by my side": Tsitsipas split with father as coach only temporary as Greek takes part in Ask Me Anything

Greece’s tennis star Stefanos Tsitsipas has stated that he expects his father to be on his side for years to come.

A user on the social media platform Reddit asked about the possibility of Apostolos Tsitsipas stopping flying with the 25-year-old on the tour in the near future.

In response to that, Tsitsipas stated that his father is the foundation of his success and that he will never ‘stop’ being on his side.
