Tsitsipas: “My collaboration with Filippousis is over, I will not blame anyone”

Stefanos Tsitsipas’ collaboration with Mark Filippoussi ended after the Greek tennis player was banned from the US Open.

This was to be expected as their agreement called for coexistence during US tournaments. So it would be concluded after the conclusion of the last Grand Slam of the year anyway.

Thus, Stefanos Tsitsipas only confirmed the concrete development, with Apostolos Tsitsipas taking the lead for the rest of the year.

“The idea of ​​bringing Mark was my own. Our collaboration for this summer ended here. We had decided that beforehand. From now on I will continue with my own team, which also includes my father.”

I hope to play like I did at the beginning of the year and finish with a higher rating than now. The truth is that I had a chance this week because I didn’t have many points to defend because I was down far enough now. he reported to Eurosport.

He had previously taken full responsibility for the ban at the press conference, stressing that he was responsible for the image he gave on the pitch.

“I will not blame anyone on my team. Everything on the pitch is under my control and how I can perform on the pitch. If I can’t perform, I won’t do well. That happened this summer. I.” wasn’t able to get good results.

I won’t blame anyone, I put in a mediocre performance after Los Cabos. I had a difficult transition in Toronto, where I was severely jet lagged for the first time on the tour. I wanted to give up the game against Gael (Monfils) but I played hoping I would do something. I can’t say anything about the other two results, about this one today. It was just an average performance.

My opponent played better tennis. I want to congratulate him because I think I’m a good player and I don’t want to lose so easily. I try to make it as difficult as possible and if it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work. I move on with my life. I hope it will be better in the future.”
