Tsitsipas: "I was wrong".

Stefanos Tsitsipas no longer has a coach. This Friday, the Greek decided to part company with his father as coach.

After a final altercation following his defeat by Nishikori in the second round in Montreal, the current world number 11 decided it was time to call it a day.

Reflecting on his decision, the 25-year-old was keen to make amends: "Philosophy teaches us that wisdom comes from understanding our limits and recognizing our mistakes.

In my case, I realized that I was wrong to speak to my father in this way. Tennis is not just a match, a hit or a few seconds' performance.

It's a long journey full of emotions, pressure and expectations. In that moment of frustration, there were many mistakes and errors on the part of my coach and my father.

As an introvert, I tend to hold back my emotions and build them up to a bursting point. I consider myself patient, so reacting the way I did left me shocked.

My behavior on the field was unacceptable and I'm disappointed to have reached the point where I showed a dark side of myself.

When I feel disrespected, judged or emotionally attacked, I tend to lose control of what comes out of my mouth, which goes against my values as a human being.

I lost control and couldn't see clearly in front of me."
