Now at 25, Tsitsipas admits he still wants to achieve those goals but highlighted that now he is also looking at some other things. “I certainly think about it a lot, but the top isn’t everything. I was addicted to this target when I was younger and this deprived me of something.

This doesn’t mean that I’m not happy with what I have accomplished; I do want to improve as a player. But the key is finding a balance between your private life, building something with someone, and moving ahead in your career, with that person’s help,” Tsitsipas said.

Meanwhile, Tsitsipas confirmed that he has again parted ways with coach Mark Philippoussis. After moving on from Philippoussis just before the French Open, Tsitsipas returned Philippoussis to his coaching staff after Wimbledon.

But Tsitsipas didn’t enjoy much success during the North American hard court so he again decided to part ways with Philippoussis and work solely with his father Apostolos. “What we’d said with Mark was that we would do the American part of the season together, as a trial: Mexico, Cincinnati and the US Open. That partnership has ended and the baton is going back to my father,” Tsitsipas said.
