This was a waste of time! Tsitsipas took harsh criticism from his coach

He dreams of his first Grand Slam title. But Greek tennis player Stefanos Tsitsipas is no closer. Now he has lost his coach and, to make matters worse, he has heard some very unpleasant words from him.

Tsitsipas and his results

His dream of triumphing at a Grand Slam tournament is well known. After all, who among tennis players has it any other way. But despite his undeniable talent and sometimes interesting results, Tsitsipas is no closer to a major title.

The 25-year-old is a finalist at the Australian Open and Roland Garros. In Australia, he is achieving his best results ever in the long term. But in the last five Grand Slams, the Greek has only made two quarter-finals.

Just when it seems that the Novak Djokovic era is coming to an end, other promising players are coming on the scene again and outperforming Tsitsipas. Alcaraz and Sinner have already won their majors. Both are a few years younger than the Athens native.

Looks like Tsitsipas’ time may not even come. Interesting, and not very pleasant from Tsitsipas’ side, is the view of his former coach.

I have better things to do

Christos Fiotakis, the now former coach of the Greek tennis player, has openly justified why his split with the current number eleven player of the ATP rankings took place. The reason was Tsitsipas’ work ethic.

“I don’t think he’s fully focused on tennis and winning a Grand Slam title or being world number one at the moment,” the ex-coachsaid about Tsitsipas. The feeling of unfulfilment is also evident in other words of Fiotakis.

“I have enough work at home and I’d rather devote my energy to other people,” the fitness coach added. Let’s see if Tsitsipas will turn everything into motivation.

So far, it doesn’t look like he will. In the Wimbledon dress rehearsal in Halle, Germany, the Greek dropped out in his second match when he fell to the home team’s Struff.

And even though Tsitsipas likes grass courts, it will be very difficult for him to make it on them. Alcaraz, Sinner and the young British Draper are all doing great things here. Let’s see how much competition Tsitsipas will be to the best.
