Tsitsipas Reunites With Father as Coach After Split

Stefanos Tsitsipas has rehired his father, Apostolos Tsitsipas, as coach after ending a brief and tumultuous partnership with former Wimbledon champion Goran Ivanisevic. The coaching split came after less than two months, following Ivanisevic's criticism of Tsitsipas's preparation in the wake of a disappointing first-round Wimbledon exit. Tsitsipas, a former world No. 3 now ranked No. 30, has struggled in major tournaments this season and described the reunion with his father as 'coming home.' Their past coaching relationship has been marked by public disputes and questions over Apostolos's methods, but Tsitsipas now stresses maturity and a renewed understanding. He hopes this decision will help stabilize his career and improve his performance on the ATP Tour. The move is seen as an effort to revive his form and ranking after recent struggles.
