The collaboration of Stefanos Tsitsipas with his physical trainer Christos Fiotakis it ended after Roland Garros. The trainer who left the Greek tennis player on the eve of the grass season was also using harsh words: “I’m not satisfied with his work ethic.
I don’t think his final goal is to reach the top of the rankings or win a Slam.” His physical trainer gave an interview to the Greek media SDNA. “I close this circle, he said, after Paris. The results and objectives I had set for myself as a coach did not arrive.
However, we got back on our feet Stefanos, who returned to being a healthy athlete and competing at a high level following his injury. Beyond that there are some things that are beyond my control. The team atmosphere doesn’t match my energy and unfortunately there are other priorities.
The I wish you the best anyway, may you always be healthy. Thank you for this experience I had with the team, I think I gave them a lot, but I also learned a lot. I hope that at some point he understands that what I tell him is correct and that he will be able to rise to number 1 in the world.”
Tsitsipas’ physical trainer: “I’m not satisfied with his work ethic”
The physical trainer of Tsitsipas he added: “I was really looking forward to the Paris Olympics because I thought that would be the time that we could bring home the gold, which we didn’t at Tokyodue to bad luck and some strange circumstances.
As I said, however, there are other priorities and I am not satisfied with theStefanos’ work ethic. Right now I don’t think his main goal is to play tennis and get to the top of the rankings or win a Grand Slam tournament.
That’s why I also can’t travel for seven months straight, with only 25 days at home, when goals they are not tall and I travel just to travel. I have enough work at home and I prefer to distribute my energy to different people in my daily life, make them fitter and get what they want, without stress.”
Tsitsipas he returned to Greece after Roland Garros and combined holidays and training on grass with his partner Paula Badosa. Next week Tsitsipas will play the ATP 500 tournament in Halle.
