Forty years later, the story of the Tsitsipas family received a symbolic climax.
“It’s unbelievable to share a title with Mom,” he said Stefanos as a fresh Masters champion in Monte Carlo.
NEWSTsitsipas won his first Masters title in Monte Carlo |
“I didn’t think about it at the beginning of the tournament, but it crept into my head when I played the semifinals. I thought it would be really thick if we had this common title as a son and mom. Then I had an enormous amount of willpower to achieve it. “
Rus Rublyov felt the determination of the world six in the final, who left the court without a chance and with a result of 3: 6 and 3: 6. “He was simply better than me,” praised Soka, the loser.
Tsitsipas similarly chased other opponents, he did not lose a single set in the entire tournament. He himself attributes his performance to proper breathing, on which he recently collaborated with a psychologist.
“I find breathing very important, especially when I’m playing. It helps me have full control over what I do, “said the Greek tennis player. “In Monte Carlo, I worked on it every day after every match. When you breathe well, your game can reach its peak. ”
She also achieved in the prestigious Monaco tournament. Tsitsipas was breathing into such performances that he “blew away” all his opponents.
“I didn’t see a reason why I shouldn’t leave here with a trophy,” he admitted after the final. “I feel I deserved it. I put a lot of effort and concentration into it. “
He was driven by the vision of imitating his mother Salnikova, who represented the Soviet Union and, after his marriage to Apostolos Tsitsipas, also Greece. She reached the 194th place in the ranking, was the world number one in the juniors and succeeded in Monte Carlo, among others…
“I remember the first time I saw her name here,” Tsitsipas looked back as he triumphed alone in the same club.
He wounded his father with a fragment of a rocket
Both parents have been involved in one of the fastest growing tennis stories of this time from the very beginning. Apostolos and Julia met on the courts in a Greek resort, where they worked as coaches, pushing the racket from an early age to their oldest son.
Little Stefanos got used to tennis quickly when he was 12 and had his talent to show in tournaments around the world, his father gave up his job and went on trips with him.
Go for happiness. But the Greek tennis god solves: How to find him on the courts? |
“I appreciate what he did for me because it’s amazing. There aren’t many fathers who would do the same for their son, “Stefanos thanked at Wimbledon in 2018.
He is also grateful to his father for saving his life, because at the age of seventeen Stefanos almost drowned in the sea, at the last moment he was pulled out of the turbulent waves by his father.
Apostolos still plays the role of head coach in his son’s team and watches as the now 22-year-old tall stormtrooper with long hair rises to ever higher tennis levels.
However, their relationship is definitely not without strife.
Annoyed by the double standard in tennis. Just Twitter search Tsitsipas & checkout “reporting” & tweets making light of his unhinged behavior. “His passion will drive him.” One said.
I hate to say it but let Serena flail around & smack her dad with a racquet. @StefTsitsipas https://t.co/KOKMfCpVQq

For example, during the ATP Cup match in Australia in January this year, Stefanos was thrashing his racket so hard in a fit of rage that he hit a sitting father near the fragment. The apostolos rose and walked away angrily, and Julia’s mother immediately hurried out of her seat and did her son.
“I’ll probably have to stay in my room for three days,” he predicted with a smile from his parents’ possible reaction.
Tennis sageStefanos Tsitsipas Watching the social networks of a Greek tennis player is instructive. Tsitsipas publishes up-to-date quotes, entertains behind-the-scenes videos or from his travels. In Monte Carlo, he then talked about how, even as an Orthodox Christian, he sought inspiration in Buddhism and meditation. – |
He committed another controversy at the end of March, when he announced on social networks in a bizarre video that due to his inability to meet his surroundings, he could no longer stand up to his loved ones and wanted to separate from them.
“We had some quarrels, so I left. I’m looking forward to seeing them again, but sometimes it’s really stressful to be with them. That’s why I decided to leave and be alone, “he explained.
In Monte Carlo, however, he already warmly supported family ties and ended up in the warm embrace of both parents after the winning final. With their support, he hopes for more titles, preferably grand slams.
“There will be more opportunities in the future, so I have to be prepared and show my consistency.”
