Tsitsipas Ends Ivanisevic Coaching Stint, Father Returns

Stefanos Tsitsipas has ended his brief coaching partnership with Goran Ivanisevic after just two months and two tournaments, citing a mismatch in approach and public criticisms from Ivanisevic regarding his fitness and professionalism. Ivanisevic publicly criticized Tsitsipas on Serbian television and in interviews, calling the player unprepared and highlighting distractions off the court, which reportedly contributed to the rift. Following the split, Tsitsipas expressed gratitude for Ivanisevic's efforts but confirmed he would return to working with his father, Apostolos Tsitsipas, as his coach, alongside new support from Vinicius de Oliveira. The partnership began after the French Open but was marred by Tsitsipas' early exits at Halle and Wimbledon, the latter ending with a retirement due to injury. Ivanisevic also hinted at personal issues affecting Tsitsipas, including his relationship with Paula Badosa, which has been rumored to have ended recently. Both parties ended their collaboration amicably in statements, with Ivanisevic wishing Tsitsipas success and acknowledging the decision to revert to a family coaching setup.
