Kei Nishikori

Stefanos Tsitsipas is 26 years old and already a very successful and wealthy tennis player, much wealthier than his parents. But his parents are not just limited to their familial role. They are also his partners and guides in cultivating his talent. It is to be expected that this confusion of roles can cause tensions and psychological complications.

Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas has ended his collaboration with his father Apostolos as his coach, the former world number three said on Friday.

The 25-year-old, currently ranked 11th, had criticised Apostolos' coaching style after losing 6-4 6-4 to former Japanese world number four Kei Nishikori in the second round of the Canadian Open on Thursday.

Greek tennis star Stefanos Tsitsipas has expressed frustration over the coaching approach of his father, Apostolos Tsitsipas, after ejecting him from the stadium during his second-round match against Japan's Kei Nishikori at the Canadian Open on Thursday.

Greek tennis player Stefanos Tsitsipas experienced a tense moment with his father and coach, Apostolos, during his match against Kei Nishikori at the ATP Montreal on Thursday.

This match marked Tsitsipas' return to competition after the Paris Olympics, where he was defeated by eventual gold medalist Novak Djokovic in the quarterfinals.

Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic played an unexpectedly uncertain match against Kei Nishikori, which lasted more than three and a half hours, advancing against Kei Nishikori 3: 1 (6-7, 6-3, 6-3, 6-2) in the third round.
The match once again showed that Djokovic manages better when he plays in three won sets, instead of two, as was the case at the Olympic Games.

Djokovic advanced to the third round with a 3-0 victory over Tallon Griekspoor, in a match that lasted 99 minutes.
The world No. 1 broke early, twice in each set, and smoothly cruised to a 6-2, 6-3, 6-2 victory.
Novak was in the mood after the match.

After 70 minutes of play, world no. 1 defeated the 69th player in the world, the Japanese Kei Nishikori, 6: 2, 6: 0.
Thus, the winner of three Grand Slam titles in 2021 approached the big goal, winning gold in Tokyo.
Novak and Kei have not played for a long time, since the quarterfinals of the Australian Open in 2019.

Grigor Dimitrov climbed three positions in the world rankings and ranked 54th this week.

Novak Djokovic remains in the leaderboard, followed by Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer.

Bulgarian tennis star Grigor Dimitrov has withdrawn from the FAST4 Showdown, reported tennisworldusa.org.

The 27-year-old debuted at the FAST4 event last year. Back then, the Bulgarian beat Australian tennis legend Lleyton Hewitt in a singles match before he and German Alexander Zverev were beaten in a doubles clash by Hewitt and Australian Nick Kyrgios.

Bulgarian fourth seed Grigor Dimitrov reached his first Monte Carlo Masters semi-final with a hard-fought win over Belgium's David Goffin.

Dimitrov, 26, won 6-4 7-6 (7-5) against sixth seed Goffin, who was leading 5-1 in the second set.

Spain's world number one Rafael Nadal takes on Austrian third seed Dominic Thiem with the winner playing Dimitrov.
