Repentance for his temper towards his mother during a fight with him Daniil Medvedevdeclared Stefanos Tsitsipas.

Speaking to SDNA, the Greek tennis player referred to a specific incident and admitted that his behavior was wrong: “It was my big mistake. I am ashamed that I spoke to my mother like that. However, at that moment I mentally lost the ball in the match. I did not expect that my opponent would fight so much, that he would show such a good “performance” on the field. I felt like I was stung by (the box) when I was playing. And that was the last thing I wanted, beyond what was already there. At the time it was a bit difficult to keep my cool, although in the big races, although I lost my cool at times, lately I have improved a lot in this. A few days ago, a video went around the world showing Stefanos Tsitsipas scolding his mother during a match in Rome. The Greek tennis player… blamed his mother for constantly talking and reprimanding him, but what annoyed him and vomited was the language Julia used. He spoke Russian, and Stefanos’ rival was Russian Danil Medvedev!

Watching the video, I don’t think what happened is a good example for children and the rest of the world. I believe that the role of a mother is to stay away from coaching and not be able to do so. In my case, however, my mother is knowledgeable and knows tennis, so it’s a bit different. I hope this never happens again, because this is definitely not professional behavior. The next time I get to that point, I’ll think it over before I say anything.”

Apostolos Tsitsipas also mentioned the incident a few days ago. As he stated, it was just tension between mother and son. “The unfortunate incident that is circulating the Internet is nothing but tension between mother and son. His mother acted with maternal feeling and tried to help her child,” he told MEGA.
