Boris Becker has shared his thoughts on Stefanos Tsitsipasâ current situation, suggesting it might be time for the Greek player to make some adjustments. The comments came through a post on X (formerly known as Twitter).
âWondering when does he [Tsitsipas] realise, he might have to change a few things in his professional life?â Becker wrote.
âHe is still young enough to turn it around if he really wants toâŠâ
Itâs been a challenging year for Tsitsipas, with several coaching changes adding instability to his camp.
After parting ways with his father Apostolos in 2024, he brought in Goran Ivanisevic later that year, but the partnership didnât last long. By July, they had already split and Tsitsipas returned to working with his father again.
The 27-year-old has now lost four of his past five opening-round matches and has only won two of seven matches during that period.
What does the future hold for Tsitsipas?
Next up on Stefanos Tsitsipasâ calendar is the Madrid Open, set to run from April 22 to May 3.
