Arthur Fils<\/a>, recently said to the same publication that he had no regrets about the criticism made towards Tsitsipas whio ended his collaboration with the Croatian after less than three months.<\/p>\n\u201cIn the end, I didn\u2019t say anything bad. Everything I said was true and proved to be so”, said Ivanisevic after Tsitsipas had dropped down the world rankings following a string of poor performances.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Today, the former world No. 3 Tsitsipas says that Ivanisevic had no sympathy for the fact that the Greeks’ preparations for the Grand Slam tournament had been hampered by an injury.<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t see any point to the criticism. If it was a way of him pushing me into working harder and getting my s*** together, it was definitely not the right tactic. I was really hurt,\u201d Tsitsipas says to The Times.<\/p>\n
\u201cI never expected that a coach could do that to me, and the worst thing is that what he said was not true. I was not fit because I had been injured. I hadn\u2019t been practising properly for over two weeks. It was like he kicked me when I was already down.”<\/p>\n
Today, Tsitsipas is working again with his father Apostolos, who has coached him since he was young. They briefly parted ways in 2023, when Tsitsipas fell out with his father and instead hired Mark Philippoussis<\/a> in 2023 for a brief period.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Stefanos Tsitsipas has hit back at the criticism his former coach Goran Ivanisevic launched in relation to his…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":511674,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[101,118,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-511673","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennis","8":"tag-sports","9":"tag-tennis","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/511673","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=511673"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/511673\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/511674"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=511673"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=511673"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=511673"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
