Stefanos Tsitsipas’s Father Comments on Paula Badosa Break-up and Goran Ivanisevic Disaster

“I wasn’t very involved then. Probably Goran saw something he didn’t like,” said Tsitsipas’s father in a talk with Claytenis. “He should have identified it at the beginning of their professional relationship with Stefanos and discussed it personally with Stefanos and his team and tell him what he wants from him. Goran is a professional, I’m sure he has his own ideas, how to make things working, but definitely he should have done it personally with Stefanos.”

“I didn’t like that he expressed his opinions publicly” he continued. “It’s interesting for the public to know about all these things, but the most important for the people is to see Stefanos playing good tennis.”

“And those responsible about that are the members of his team. We are teachers and coaches must create the right environment for the player to develop.”

Comments on Paula Badosa Break-up

Alongside coaching turbulence, Tsitsipas has been forced to deal with his separation from Paula Badosa, a relationship that was followed closely by tennis fans worldwide. Apostolos acknowledged the challenge but emphasized that overcoming such difficulties is part of being a professional athlete.

“He has to deal with that,” he said commenting on the break-up. “Himself and every player have to deal with daily stress, routines, and pressure. If they cannot deal with that, they cannot compete at this level. They cannot be on the tour.”

With Apostolos back in his corner, the hope for Tsitsipas is to find stability and rediscover the form that once made him a regular contender at the biggest stages of the sport. Whether this family reunion can spark a resurgence remains to be seen, but for Tsitsipas, it represents a crucial step toward moving forward.
