Stefanos Tsitsipas Opens Up About His Evolving Relationship with Father Apostolos
In a candid revelation, tennis star Stefanos Tsitsipas shared that his relationship with his father, Apostolos, became “toxic” during their time working together as coach and player. The pair chose to part ways last year, a decision that Tsitsipas believes has positively transformed their family dynamic.
“Our relationship has actually improved over the last few months,” Tsitsipas commented. “Initially, the split was incredibly challenging for both of us. It was difficult for him to come to terms with the fact that he was no longer part of my inner circle.”
He further explained, “Before our separation, tennis often overshadowed our relationship. As harsh as it may sound, it reached a point where it felt somewhat toxic because I sensed he was always pursuing me, rather than supporting me.”
Despite the challenges, Tsitsipas emphasized the enduring bond he shares with his father. “He will always be my dad and remains an important figure in my life,” he said. “Apostolos is an incredible person who has made countless sacrifices and dedicated immense effort to support my career.”
In summary, the separation has ultimately led to a healthier relationship, highlighting the complexities of balancing family ties with professional aspirations.
