Tsitsipas's father drove him crazy with constant talking," says Benoit Maylin on the show *Sans Filet*
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.
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.
