Overview

  • His brief collaboration with Goran Ivanisevic ended on July 31 after two months marked by poor results and tensions over his fitness and preparation.
  • Apostolos Tsitsipas has rejoined his son’s team with a focus on recalibrating mistimed strokes and fine-tuning habits.
  • Following an early loss in Toronto, the pair spent three to four extra days practicing together before moving on to Cincinnati.
  • Tsitsipas opened his Cincinnati campaign with a 7-6(3), 6-2 victory over Fabian Marozsan, crediting improved communication with his father.
  • He remains ranked around world No. 30 and views the reunion as an initial step toward consistency rather than a definitive season turnaround.
