Greek tennis sensation Stefanos Tsitsipas always manages to stay in the headlines, captivating fans with his drama-filled performances on and off the court.
Despite his entertaining style of play, Tsitsipas often finds himself in the midst of family drama. His recent exit from the Canadian Open at the hands of Japanese player Kei Nishikori may have grabbed some attention, but it’s his relationship with his family that truly steals the spotlight.
In 2020, Tsitsipas made headlines by openly discussing his desire for his mother to take a step back from his tennis career. “My mum, she knows a lot about tennis… Sometimes it can be a bit complicated when she wants to give her own opinion or advice direct to me, then have my dad tell me something else,” Tsitsipas revealed.
The family saga took an unexpected turn when Tsitsipas’s mother made a surprise appearance at one of his post-match press conferences. In a viral video from 2020, she challenged her son on the influence of parents in tennis, creating a stir that continues to echo through the tennis world.
With Tsitsipas, the drama never seems to end – both on and off the court. As he navigates his way through the highs and lows of professional tennis, one thing is for certain: the Greek star is always ready to deliver a show, no matter where he finds himself.
