TORONTO: Stefanos Tsitsipas held out hope on Monday that massive changes in his coaching staff will pay results at this week’s ATP Toronto Masters.
The fourth-ranked Greek star has gently laid down the law to his father and longtime coach Apostolos, handing over that duty to Greek-Australian Mark Philippoussis, a former US Open finalist.
Tsitsipas relegated his parents to concerned members of his traveling party at the bigger events. This week’s fourth seed at the first of two Masters events prior to the Aug.
28 start of the US Open spelled out his new team order after arrival following his title run at Los Cabos, Mexico. Tsitsipas made a breakthrough in Canada in 2018, finishing runner-up to Rafael Nadal.
