Tsitsipas Believes Coaching Shake-up Was Overdue, Contrasts Fathers' Roles
Stefanos Tsitsipas expressed that his recent significant coaching change, now involving field coach Thomas Perrin under the oversight of Patrick Mouratoglou, is a transition he should have implemented much earlier. These remarks followed his 7-6, 7-5 defeat at the hands of Joao Fonseca at the National Bank Open in Montreal. This strategic adjustment, finalized before Wimbledon this year, signifies the most definitive departure from Tsitsipas's recurrent coaching reconfigurations.
Tsitsipas: "I should have made this coaching change sooner"
Following his loss to Joao Fonseca at the National Bank Open in Montreal, Stefanos Tsitsipas shared his perspective on his latest coaching evolution. The Greek player, now working with Thomas Perrin as his field coach and Patrick Mouratoglou in an overseeing capacity, stated that this strategic shift was something he ought to have undertaken much earlier in his career. This coaching arrangement, made official before the recent Wimbledon Championships, represents the most distinct break from Tsitsipas's history of frequent coaching adjustments.
Comparing Parental Coaching Styles
Tsitsipas also touched upon the role of parental influence in tennis, specifically drawing a comparison between his own father's involvement and that of Ben Shelton's father. While not elaborating extensively, the implication was that he wished his own father's coaching approach might have mirrored that of Shelton's father in some respects, suggesting a desire for a different dynamic or perhaps a more hands-off approach at times.
