"It is with a heavy heart that I inform you that my collaboration with
my father as a coach has come to an end. I prefer to keep my father in
his role as a father, and only as a father," Tsitsipas wrote in Greek on
social media.
"Philosophy teaches us that wisdom comes through understanding our
limits and acknowledging our mistakes,” he continued. “In my case, I realised that I was wrong to talk to my father the way I did. Tennis is
not just a match, a hit or a performance of a few seconds. It is a long
journey full of emotions, pressure and expectations.
"In that moment of frustration, there were many mistakes and errors on
the part of my coach and father. As an introvert, I tend to hold in my
emotions and build them up until I reach a bursting point. I consider
myself patient, so the fact that I reacted this way left me shocked."

Congrats to Nishi, the behind-the-back-co-goat.
