The short cooperation between De Griek and Ivanisevic ended last week, less than two months after the duo started working together.

Ivanisevic, who guided Novak Djokovic to 9 of his 24 Grandslam titles, had criticism of Tsitsipas and said after his elimination in the first round of Wimbledon: “I have never seen such an unprepared player.”

Sat on the world ranking

Tsitsipas achieved third place in the world ranking under the guidance of his father, who was his full -time coach from a young age, but since their break in 2024 dropped to 30th place.

“Some trips tend to return to where they started,” Tsitsipas wrote on social media after a defeat in the second round against Christopher O’Connell on the Canadian Open on Wednesday.

What does Tsitsipas say about reunification?

“After a while apart, I am reunited with the person who was the first in me to believe: my father. Sometimes coming home is the most courageous step forward.”

Tsitsipas said goodbye to his father as a coach last August.
