Stefanos Tsitsipas separates from his coach just before the start of Roland-Garros

Philippoussis joined Tsitsipas’ father Apostolos on the Greek’s coaching bench midway through last season and helped him reach the Australian Open final, which Tsitsipas lost to Serbian Novak Djokovic in January. .

Roland-Garros: almost 50 million in prize money

Tsitsipas, 24, reached the final of the Paris tournament in 2021 (won by Djokovic after leading two sets to zero) and was beaten in the round of 16 in 2022 (by Holger Rune). This season, for his preparation on clay, he remains on a final in Barcelona (beaten by the Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz), a semi-final in Rome (defeated by Daniil Medvedev) and two quarter-finals in Madrid (loss against Jan -Lennard Struff) and Monte-Carlo (released by Taylor Fritz). He has won 24 games and lost 8 more this year.
