THE Stefanos Tsitsipas After a year he will coach his father again, with the two men working again, with the aim of the Greek champion returning to the tennis Elite.
So, starting from the Toronto tournament, Stefanos Tsitsipas spoke to Ziggo Sport about his decision, past and personal course.
“I regret many things, things I don’t want to repeat. My behavior was not mature, I was not myself, “said the tennis tennis player, admitting that last year’s rupture with his father influenced him negatively.
Indeed, Tsitsipas also referred to the difficulties he had passed, physically and psychologically, stressing that his little absence from action helped him redefine himself.
“I spent a lot in recent weeks and helped me have been taking a break away from Courts. I was able to think of some things, work on my body and see specialists, doctors, people who could help me. I can say that I am much better. Three weeks ago I couldn’t imagine that I would be in the position I am now, because I was in a very bad state, mainly physically.
If you are not well physically influenced in other areas, you are psychologically influenced, you are influenced in every way. In a situation like this I just have to stay strong, so I’m happy to be in Toronto, it wasn’t part of the plan, “he said initially and continued:” I won’t lie, it was a rollercoaster. I think this will think about the people who see it out, that’s what I think, because I deal with it every day. Many changes have been made, not all have been made public, not disclosed except my cycle.
It was difficult to deal with all this, to deal with all kinds of emotions, decisions that I am trying to make as an adult I have been in the last two years. I can finally say that the waters have begun to become calmer and go in the direction I want. I am happy to find my way, despite the mistakes I have to make – we all know we have to make mistakes. I accept my mistakes and I want to move on to the future wiser. “
For cooperation with his father he mentioned:
“It was difficult to finally end up working with him last year. He managed to get to a point where I honestly didn’t recognize myself, the way I reacted to this collaboration. The way it ended was repulsive and unexpected.
I regret many things, things that I do not want to repeat, because my behavior and reaction were not too mature, I was not myself. It made me lose my internal control, but we’ve talked a lot since then. We have spent many weeks together – he has been on the tour here and there not as my coach, but as my father. We talked and I think I have to be strict with him, sometimes I think he wants to do a lot of things on his own.
I try to regulate this and make him understand that some things have to be done as I want. This relationship deserves more than the way we have dealt with it in the past. As I said we must have wisdom, be smarter in the way we communicate and completely honest. “
