Alright, so I got curious the other day about the tennis scene, especially with the new season getting into full swing. Stefanos Tsitsipas always catches my eye, talented player, lots of drama sometimes too, you know? Anyway, I started wondering, who’s actually in his corner coaching him for 2024? Seemed like a simple question.
My Search Process
First thing I did, just like anyone else I guess, was fire up my computer and type it into a search engine. Something straightforward like ‘tsitsipas coach 2024’ or ‘who is coaching tsitsipas now’. Nothing fancy.
The results started popping up. His dad, Apostolos Tsitsipas, was mentioned everywhere. Okay, no surprise there, he’s been the main fixture for ages, right? But my brain started nagging me… wait a minute.
- I definitely remembered hearing about other names.
- Wasn’t Mark Philippoussis involved for a while? That partnership seemed kind of on-again, off-again.
- And there was that period with Patrick Mouratoglou’s academy, though maybe not direct coaching day-to-day.
It wasn’t immediately crystal clear who held the official ‘coach’ title heading into this specific year. Sometimes the headlines are confusing, or they talk about past arrangements.
Digging a Little Deeper
So, I decided to refine my search a bit. Instead of just a general query, I looked for news articles specifically from late 2023 or early 2024. I tried searching for interviews with Tsitsipas himself, or reports from pre-season training camps. Stuff that would give a more current picture.
I spent a bit of time reading through reports from reliable tennis news outlets and journalists who follow the tour closely. I skipped the clickbait stuff and tried to find articles discussing his team setup for the Australian swing and beyond.
What I Found Out
After reading through a few different sources, the consistent story emerged. Apostolos Tsitsipas, his father, is still the main coach. He’s the guy there day in, day out, the primary voice.
Yes, the Philippoussis experiment happened, and they did part ways officially sometime last year. While you never know in tennis, and teams can change fast, the setup going into 2024 seems firmly centered around his dad leading the coaching efforts.
So, that was my little investigation. It wasn’t exactly uncovering a state secret, but it cleared up the confusion I had from remembering all the different names involved over the past couple of years. For now, it’s Dad back at the helm, steering the ship for 2024.
