In the YouTube show *Sans Filet*, the panelists discussed Tsitsipas's current situation. Indeed, with the arrival of Ivanisevic in his team, the Greek player hopes to reach a new level after recently parting ways with his longtime coach, Apostolos Tsitsipas. Benoit Maylin shared his thoughts on this decision:

"Tsitsipas grew up with his father. He had to mentally toughen up to play tennis amid that madness because his father was always in his head, constantly talking to him, driving him crazy. Mouratoglou would go nuts when he was courtside with the father.

Publicité

Everyone would go crazy. In the player lounge, you see the two of them—his father talking, but Tsitsipas, you can tell he’s not listening, he’s somewhere else. Did Tsitsipas really need that to become the player he was? That’s the question I ask myself, because when his father isn’t there, Tsitsipas isn’t present—he’s in love with Badosa, posting philosophical messages, life is beautiful—but he’s not a tennis player, he’s not a madman.

If you want to win Grand Slams, you have to be a madman. Zverev isn’t crazy, Medvedev is crazy. Tsitsipas is way too cerebral for a tennis player—he overthinks way too much. The more you think, the less you succeed. Sinner is a madman. These guys don’t have normal lives—if you step out of that, you can’t make it.

As we move to the end of this month and also closing out the year I am wishing all of those following me a Merry Christmas and a Happy/Healthy New Year.

Let's make that wish for all 2000 plus players hoping for 5 wins each day. Hoping ŵhen we open the results page to see all green, and no red. And especially NO CANCELED matches.

From me and my rotti JAZ, I bid you all good night, and see you in...

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Chwalinska and Huergo at the Quito tournament? The match was played to completion and on time. If TT feels the match is one sided, and of course it was, then don't put it up for prediction. This is getting irritating.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?
