Tsitsipas, the No. 11 player in the world, was upset by Japanese player Kei Nishikori, ranked 576th in the world, in straight sets in the first round of the ATP Tour tournament.
Stefanos Tsitsipas has parted ways with his father as his tennis coach, one day after lashing out at him following a stunning defeat at the National Bank Open in Montreal.During the match, Tsitsipas, 25, argued with his father, Apostolos Tsitsipas, and afterward, went on a tirade about him during media availability. Stefanos Tsitsipas fired his father as his tennis coach after getting stunned by the 576th-ranked player in the world at the Canadien Open.
He continued to say that as an “introvert,” he let his frustrations simmer until they bubbled over, and that he regretted his actions. “My father has been trying for the last few years to train me, raise me the right way and provide me with knowledge and wisdom, both on and off the field. I thank him for that. I thank him for the sacrifices, pain and suffering he has endured to make this endeavor a success. From now on, his role will remain within the confines of the father role, and that alone.”
